Please do your homework before selling

Just a heads up guys.

A fellow TRF Member just sent me info from a scammer trying to use my credentials to buy a watch and pay upon inspection. (not my TRF account, only my name and business name)

As a dealer, this is how I buy, and I am a man of my word, but please contact me first if you are going to buy from me at my real number/email, which I am posting here.

This person simply made an email address very similar to mine, got a phone number with a 610 area code like mine and then he researched deals I had done with other members. Once he had the info he texted sellers as me asking to buy. He got all his info from my past deals in the who's who section. Luckily, the person I have done business with was smart enough to call me. He also offered more than the current value of the watch, so please make sure you don't fall in to that trap.

Hope no one is sending this guy any watches. Here is the info he is using which is all FAKE:
[email protected]
610-616-4842



Here is my REAL info:
[email protected]
610-420-2849

Thanks everyone and please be safe...lots of scamming going on and we need to watch each other's backs.

If it happened to you, both buyer and seller, it will happen to others as well.

Thanks for the heads up and be aware!

Same guy messaged me. My only guess as to how he got my email is through PM here.

I received a PM about my IWC from "Pusherv". He provided me with his email address ([email protected]) for "easier communication". This email address has never responded to me nor has he responded to my PM's.

I hope I am correct and not defaming anyone here as that is not my intention. Just want to make sure no one falls for this.

PusherV "[email protected]" - Also messaged me about if I had done any dealings with BearJX86 and if he was legit etc. Asked me to email him about how my transaction went.

He obviously has been mining the "FEEDBACK" section as my limited Feedback on this website has been 3 watch purchases...

He's got a WUS sales thread here: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f31/wt...a-5153319.html

Followed the Email.

His name on PusherV was "Nick" .....
