Does this look like a scam?

[miketmbt]

I wish I could buy this watch but I am afraid that it is a scam. Has anyone heard of this seller? I don't see it in the trusted area.

Give it a try. What could go wrong?

 

[miketmbt]

I could lose $269
Just wondering if they looked familiar to anyone. When I search their name, I get no results.

better use common sense in this case mate.

knock it off - stick to the TDs

Thank you

You do not know what you will receive ... and I can pretty much can bet ... it will NOT be the watch in those pictures.

OP, welcome to the forum. I see you joined a couple of hours ago - glad to have you. I strongly suggest you take some time to read up on the types of reps out there, trusted dealers, and how to maneuver the site. There is SO much information on this forum, that the research you conduct will pay dividends. I am also confident if you spend some time researching the Tag Section, M2M, and Noob Section (at a minimum) you will find a Tag rep you will enjoy.

Thank you. Yeah, just signed up but I have been browsing as a guest for a few days. I went through all the trusted rep seller that I could find working sites and sent a few inquiry emails to others. There are a few different brands and models that I would like to get in my collection and the ones I see on the trusted sites look amazing. I will read through the other Noob section next.

Did you read the description? At the top it says: "The TAG Heuer Monaco 40th Anniversary Limited Edition watch is Replica, brand new, and shipped to you "
And then a bit furtyher down it says: "hotwatchs.com sells only 100% Authentic TAG Heuer watches, but is not and does not claim to be an Authorised Dealer of ANY brand advertised on our website including TAG Heuer." I'd call that a clue . . .

If you find yourself wondering if something is legit then it probably isn't. They have a fake PayPal verified logo (a real one has a clickable link back to a verification page on PP's website) and all the photos on that site are of gen watches. The spiel on the index page is identical to that used on dozens of other sites owned buy these guys (Russians I suspect). Everything about that site says scam.

Yep. I sent an email and asked about PayPal. I actually got a quick response. They said that they do not accept PayPal but if I send Western Union or Money Gram, I'd get 15% off.
Yeah, scam.

Go for it dude. Let us know how it works out.

Yeah, Noob Bully seems about right. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, scam.

Many of our TDs offer discounts for using wire transfers and Bitcoin payments. But 15% is legendary.

Hey. You asked for our opinion so sack up. I’m glad I can help. Make sure to post pictures when (if) you get the watch. You probably won’t receive a watch that looks like their pictures (they are using pics of gens) but they guarantee 1:1 AAA quality. Good luck partner.

 

[miketmbt]

Sarcasm is lost in text. I'll keep you posted.

 

[waterpas]

Only use td's

 

[Akonoypi]

I'd like to know how this plays out.......

 

[miketmbt]

Lol. I forgot about this. Since I have purchased 2 watches from Puretime and 1 from Davidsen. All are really nice.
I'll wait patiently for a calibre 11 monaco to get a good rep.
