I found Time 4 Time's post very suspicious to say the least, so I did a little research and this is what I found:

Maybe this is a coincidence but there was a Planet Ocean Orange Bezel Chrono for sale here on that same site -->http://victoria.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...QAdIdZ95563598 with that same address in BC, Canada on December 22nd, 2008.

And Time 4 Time (new member from Canada) stated he has a Planet Ocean Orange Bezel Chrono here --> http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=59226 on December 6th, 2008.

Coincidence????? And Time 4 Time is stating that he met this guy at an AD to buy a real Rolex and that guy just happened to sell a fake Rolex now...... I smell a rat!!!

What do you all think? Am I reaching?

So some of these newbies making their way to TRF are here as scammers? Am I reading this thread correctly?

That sounds hard to believe when the guy is clearly selling a FAKE!!!!!!!

How does anyone know you are not in fact vouching for yourself?

Scammers are everywhere, remember this is the internet and you need to be vigilant when you are transacting with people who you do not personally know.

However this guy Time_4_Time has been on the forum for over 1 month and made only 3 posts, but makes a post (saying he has a DEEPSEA which he has never mentioned before) and vouching for a guy selling a $10,000 fake.

Where is the advertisement for the DEEPSEA if it is to be believed that Time_4_Time purchased that of the same seller, or is there some unstated (and questionable) reason for that not to be disclosed.
