There are suckers everywhere... From the sounds of the article it wasn't even a decent rep.

He almost got away with it. He should have went the extra step,and got some forged ID. Cashed the check and be done.

What a tool

Don't forget in our dark world we are the most saavy. We actually could work for the Richmont spotting these reps even with the subtle cues we have developed an eye for.
Both the jeweler and the ass clown should be shot.

That jeweler has been in that part of town for over 30 years...very upscale area of Long Island.I grew up not to far from there.Very snobish group of people...I don't feel bad at all for jeweler.... He probably was anticipating a steal at 12,500 and then selling it for more....

It's more like the less exposed jeweler's fault.

I am guessing it's Chinese Nautilus rep.

It was an exhibition back with a quartz movement. :) I think that guy came to the last Houston GTG.

Can you imagine how stupid these so called jewelers must feel now? I mean seriously. WTF? You cut a check for 12G's for a rep? Maybe it's a marketing ploy.

Classic story. Most of the AD's i meet in resort towns short terming to work at the beach could not spot 90% of the things i hear all of you pick out naturally. Now the seasoned people that AD as a profession are absolutely amazing. Obviously this jeweler did not specialize in the PPN.
