Got scammed here this week by a member which I will blow up this week. But just bought a GMT Master tonight from InTime 1167610. Will let everyone know how the Noob looks. But I’m very disappointed in the member I purchased the watch from. . Yes I’m new and was responding to his threads and he told me someone backed out of the deal and he privately messaged me. I sent him the money and he has shut me off since :/ Awful time of year to get scammed.

If I is true be nice to have it out in the open though...

Stefnan also got me for $150. For about a week and a half he would message me every 2-3 days saying he was super busy and he’d update me when he got home but that still hasn’t happened.

Guy is clearly a crook. Had the best communication possible until I sent him the money and then he fell off the face of the earth ROfan

Unfortunately the mods can't, won't help with back-door sales gone wrong. Best advice, stay away from the back door, that's where the scammers hang out.

After a little back and forth last week, we were supposed to make a trade. After he sent me his tracking number, I thought it was all groovy, but I was smart enough to check and see that the item had not actually been sent, though it was an active tracking # so he must have paid to generate the number. I was lucky in the fact I purchased my tracked package at the local post office on my lunch break yesterday, but didn't have my goods with me and planned to send it once I saw his tracking number was in-transit. Long story short, he hasn't responded to my inquiries since Friday, and just today I saw a note on his account that said DO NOT TRADE WITH ME - thanks Mods. I'm out $20 bucks for shipping. He lives in Iceland - I have the name and shipping address he gave me if anyone wants to PM me. I plan on sending him a bag of sh*t since it's already been paid for.

The RWI Investigations Unit is ruthless, they will turn his life upside down with those details. Well deserved too.

You should have asked him to create a Reserved Sales Thread, that way you would be following the forum's rules.

while not ideal, responding to a WTB is not considered back door sales unless it's changed. I do agree, a thread would have been the preferred route.
