For awareness. He sent me an email regarding my watch and asked me to click on a TRF link to confirm if the watch is mine. I clicked it and it brought me to a clone site named knotorolex.............. He signs off as Philip Gates. A google search of his email turned up 1 result which was a deleted ad here in TRF.

Good catch.

I was able to see the Google search result



But that FS thread has been removed and my guess is the TRF ID has been banned.

Maybe you can ask a Mod to backtrack to check the IP addy that was used before and a reverse lookup in case he’s operating under a new fraudulent TRF ID.
