As we have all become more familiar with unfortunate dealings of hacked accounts, impersonators creating "similar" email addresses, and just weird emails.
I wanted to let the community know I received a few emails from the following addresses, and if you have anything you can share, or warn against, it helps us all.
[email protected] "KELVIN CHAISSON"
[email protected] "Vanessa Saber"

If anyone knows of their "legitimacy", then I apologize in advance.

Brian-

I too got an email this AM from KELVIN CHAISSON about a watch I have for sale. Any validation to whom this may be would be greatly appreciated.

I also got a notice from yahoo about multiple log in attempts so I am greatly suspicious.

Knappo 1307 · 1 February 2016, 03:08 AM

I got the same email, from this clown. He goes by Kevin in some emails and Kelvin in others. He wants to send a cashier check, and he will provide his own shipping. Stay away from this clown, unless you want to lose a watch.

MCV · 1 February 2016, 03:36 AM

I got an inquiry from Vanessa Saber regarding a watch I had posted for sale. Very strange email, highly suspicious, didn't make any sense. Avoid.

I just got one from kelvin too
Thanks for the heads up guys

red1108nyc · 1 February 2016, 07:30 AM

Got one too - Thanks for the head's up. Traced him and notified a few buds to go over his house now to give him a warm hello.

PGAPRO · 1 February 2016, 07:30 AM

If I lived closer I would! Would love to harass him for sure!

BillA · 1 February 2016, 09:31 AM

I also got an email from Kevin/Kelvin Chaisson, uses [email protected]. Never checked my references, accepted a price very quickly, wanted to send me a certified check or deposit the check in my account, when I told him I only do wire transfer, he went away. Definitely a scammer.

PGAPRO · 2 February 2016, 12:36 PM

OK,Just had go update everyone on the guy, he just doesn't give up, even when I said the
watch was gone, so Ive had fun with him for 2 days, hes asked for financial info, hes asked for me to send the watch to him and he will pay me when he gets the watch and verifies the authenticity. Uh, yeah, let me just jump on that. I said sure, but a foreign tax stamp, before I do that. I said you do have one don't you? oh yes, sure I do. Then send it to me, with your address, I have to have an address for you. I must admit its been a little fun. So I sent him some fake bank account numbers. Stay tuned, this is getting better. Someone else should do the same thing, of course there is no such thing a foreign tax stamp, but I bet he has one! or working like crazy trying to make one up.

myclue · 2 February 2016, 01:22 PM

got same email. beware.

denmanproject · 2 February 2016, 01:31 PM

Same here, asked me for a whole bunch of personal bank / address info I wasn't prepared to give out

ROLEX2447 · 11 March 2016, 11:09 PM

I posted this on the other thread involving this scammy-scammer,but thought it didn't hurt
to post it here as well,in hopes perhaps
it might save even one member here a lot of grief.

I'm not sure if a law has been broken,
until he actually steals a watch,but
I'd like to think there is some type of law enforcement
entity out there,that might perhaps take some interest
in him,she or it..

I know there are bigger fish to fry throughout our
country and can't expect many resources would
take up much time checking into a low-level
scammer,but what if this thief has successfully
stolen a lot of high end watches?

Scary poop right here people!

Received this one this morning myself.

The first "warning" sign for me,was the fact i do not have this watch posted anywhere but here,so no clue what "watchrecon"
is,but either way,i believe we all need to report these occurrences,as it seems to be we are,as if not for this thread,
i would have gladly went along for at least a short ride and hopefully,
i would have picked up on the scam,
had there been one,but being a trusting guy by nature,
i may have lost a $7500 watch...

Thanks people,for these types of threads and we should remain vigilant moving forward...

I got your email address from watchrecon as someone who has a Panerai Luminor GMT PAM 88 44mm for $6650.
I am interested in buying it hence,this mail to you.
Kindly let me know your final asking price and i will appreciate more pictures of it if available.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Kelvin Chaisson.

He's been doing this for at least 2 years. I heard from him a few years back, and thought it was awfully suspicious as well. I offered to meet him FTF to do the transaction (at the time he claimed he was in Texas). Any time we got close to meeting he always came up with some excuse as to why he couldn't be there at the appointed time.

The language is identical to a few Craigslist scams I've received.

rb250 · 12 March 2016, 03:53 AM

Yup, sounds like those same people trying to pull scams on craigslist. The ones I got had New Jersey area codes.

Kellokonttori · 12 March 2016, 06:51 AM

Not related to the scammer.

Watchrecon is a search engine that collects ads from various watch forums. Yes, the ads of this forum show up there.
