Hi guys,

New here, just subscribed today. Thanks for so much great information.

Quick observation; I noticed that the points used here to describe scam websites are points that I can see in the recommended dealer websites. 1:1 quality, AAA, swiss made etc.

I'm pretty much using the testimonials as a litmus test to see if the websites/sellers are genuine, however if the testimonials didn't exist I would not use their sites based on the pointers.

Thanks again for all your hard work, photos etc!

Thank you for the post!
Unfortunately I discovered this forum AFTER being probably scammed (still waiting but it smells bad) on a cloned website of an (ex) trusted dealer.
It hurts but well, thanks to you all and this great forum, it won't happen a second time :)

Thanks for the introduction. I found my way to the forum, as I wanted to check if a certain site was trustworthy and was able to verify that it was not :p

Honistly the TD system seems bulletproof.
Having bought many things from china I just now not to sit on my hands waiting but just relax.

Thoese other websites are a non option I can't imagine how someone else would feel having bought anything from there (insert scam site)
But hey they get a real thrill horror experiance I bet that must be worth something.

Good to know. There are thousands of people who lost their hardly earned money trying get a rep from a non TD scam website. 👍🏻
