Scammer posing as Gil - The Watch Collector

Got emails to buy my watch from "[email protected]"

Gil's email does not have the "NY" at the end. Called Gil and he confirmed its not him. I'm the third person today to call him about this...and he says law enforcement won't do anything

Please be warned. My email is [email protected] and if in doubt call my store at 718-698-6373. This scammer is impersonating me.

Hey guys. Please follow the following rules and you will be safe:

1. If contacted, please forward emails to our real email which is [email protected]

2. We will NEVER ask you to ship anywhere but our NY store and we will provide you with a prepaid fedex label to do so.

3. Lastly, only use 718-698-6373 to call us and communicate any transaction.
