Jeppers Jenny, no gents! Not yet. Let's get this figured out first please. Nice gesture though. A lot of dealers get scammed continually btw, it really blows but it's part of doing business. Anyway, lets see what we can do first.

I've dealt with Denis numerous times. I even passed along the 1680 I won in the raffle last year , to him. I've communicated with him off the forums. I read this in the morning , and realized he has blocked me everywhere. It saddens me because he is one of the people I trusted here. But it also goes to show what can happen. Hence why these " trusted buyer " proposals are useless. In my short time here, I've seen more than a few long time members go bad.

I see it the other way, bmw -- this is why we need a way to certify trusted buyers. A TD just got scammed again.

Long time member != trusted buyer
Trust needs to be earned with satisfactory transactions (ie exchange of money), not # posts or popularity with other members.

This is how the financial industry does business; it can work for us too.

Doing nothing different seems to be a bad idea.

Sad day indeed. I feel sorry for TD that took the hit. I would be pretty upset being one of the guys that were sticking their necks up there for him. I wouldnt jump into conclusions so soon but him cutting off RWI buddies, creates no room for error. Shameless individual.

I cross posted this thread over on rwgforum.net as well to get more exposure out and cut off another sales avenue for him.

Denis had a lot of satisfactory transactions. It didn't stop him from becoming a scammer.

I can tell you that I personally had multiple good transactions with him. I know at least 6 other people who did as well. I'm sure his track record with TD's was extensive. We are not talking about a member who just posted funny pictures or "GLWS". There is plenty of content and interaction from Denis. Which goes to show you that anyone can go rogue. I can't explain why this happens. It's sad , because we lose someone we considered a friend. We wouldn't be posting here , in shock if we didn't believe in the guy. But sadly , people resort to desperate measures sometimes for whatever reasons.

I'm genuinely shocked. I used to enjoy reading anything this guy posted about vintage rolex's and he always had some really cool eyecandy that he was working on. In fact, I'd venture to say I was never really even interested in the vintage pieces until I saw some of his work.
Really pathetic.......

Sad news indeed.
As others I read many of his posts and he always seemed a nice guy and a resource for the community.
I wish I could understand this sh#t ... I can't believe it

Do you think any dealer here is gonna take up for you if you get ripped by someone?? Not a F'ing chance brother.

I agree with R2, lets see what happens.

I wish it was. Unfortunately , the more we find out , the worse it looks.

You sure about that?? I was uninformed (LOL) that you two dopes are behind this whole thing and a BMW was seen parked on his street hijacking the WiFi signal.
