Theres at least 15-17 members screwed by this guy and they do nothing. I asked them to at least put up a thread to not deal with him and they wont even do that. But they are quick to brag about how if your a platinum or diamond member you wont get scammed and how long time guys there dont scam people. Its a shame because i kinda like it there. Theres a guy there hes a member here too his name is mike on a bike and hes helping us out. He doesnt have to but he is.

I like it there because of their vintage knowledge. But what good is that if you don't get your vintage part and ripped off hundreds of dollars?

Believe me i didn't want to go and put you guys in my shit. I thought that RWG was going to do something but they are choosing to do nothing.

We all share the same passion for watches across the boards my friend, so it is a wise move to inform the RWI community.

I'm sure it will prevent anyone here losing their hard earned now.

I have been following the thread over on RWG, and I too am a little miffed at the lack of official board support on the matter, so you are not alone now mate. ;)

Mike is a bloody good chap, he will do all he can for you.

There's about a 30 page thread on him on RWG until the mods finally locked it. Lot's of people got there stuff back but quite a few still haven't.

If you get screwed over there, nobody is around to help you. They'll even tell you they don't moderate sales, you're on your own.

Once these guys who are scamming on the forums get caught whats stopping them from just rejoining under a different name and continuing the madness?

MD2020 public Facebook page is an interesting read.

Here he is posting other members' REP watches (confirmed) in a clearly for sale post, and on a non-rep internet site.

And here he is telling the lot of you like the OP what to do, all the while holding your property without communication. Tough guy...

Oh, there's lots more. This is a kid not far removed from high school, still living with his parents in Chicago. The OP has his parent's phone number as well as FYI... :whistle:

Because JoeyB started showing his ass as usual, trolling and defending the douchebag, so things got ugly and they closed the thread.

Mob or no mob mentality, there is order here. Though it may not be scam proof, deterring most and keeping it honest and blunt as often as possible is what sets rwi apart. On that note, why is scammer refering to rwi specifically on that screen shot? (Apart from rwg). I don't have an account or desire to be a member in the wild west, but if there's anything that rwi do... I'm sure it shall be done.

Yep. Seems like it. There are no bands or straps attached. Service watches imo.
It would be cool if we got on his school page and told everybody that he is a thief.
