OP made all of his posts on the night of the 8th and morning of the 9th. No word from him since then ...

Buuuuut, I'm sure it all worked out. ;)

Hi, guys,

After sending the W/U payment, I had several email communications back and forth with this company.

First, I posted the details of the payment on their website. Then I emailed asking them to confirm recepit of payment and provide a shipping date. They emailed me saying they needed to know the details of the payment. So I responded with the details including a PDF file showing the actual confirmation email I received from W/U.

Nothing happened for several days. Then I received another email asking for the proof again. So I sent the email again, but from this point forward in all my emails I embedded hidden code that notified me when the emails were received, when they were read, by whom, and for how long. The email was read, but they sent back another response asking for the payment information again.

At this point I called W/U and cancelled the money wire and received a refund. I then sent the payment information yet again to China, and this time I got an email back stating that they had not picked up the payment because I had never provided the payment information, and that my credit card company had cancelled the transaction. They also informed me that they did not have either watch in stock. LOL.

For the heck of it I then sent two further emails forwarding my original emails containing the payment information (also with embedded trace codes). I stated that I had indeed provided the payment details and that it was not my fault that they did not pick up the payment. I told them I was out $51 for the W/U fund transfer and that they should credit me for this amount and notify me when the watches came in. After a couple of argumentative emails from them, they went silent.

One of my staff speaks fluent Chinese and I contemplated asking him to send a threatening letter in Chinese, but I decided it was not worth any further effort. So, in summary:

Conclusion: company is a scam
Probability of being wrong: 0%
Action Item: Add company to scam list
Total Expense: $51.00

I still want one of these watches. Anybody got any good ideas?

P.S. The strangest thing - after they stopped responding to mey emails, their website suddenly crashed and was unavailabloe for almost 48 hours :) Karma I guess !!!

Go to ebay and search flying tourbillon. Exclusive UK Watches is Homer. He is the best and warranty's the watch for a year. Is it the JL? NO. Is it a real flying tourbillon worth every cent you pay? Yes.
You can't do any better.

After several warnings from a lot of people including myself you still decided to purchase from them [we even gave you the TRUSTED dealer list specifically to avoid this], you sent a WU payment which we told you never to do with unknown sellers [specially one that has all the red flags on their website]. Sorry, but you were literally asking for it. :?

Here's another one:

[NOT A TRUSTED SITE - BEWARE, IT'S A SCAM!]
http://www.fashion-replica.com/GoodsDet ... -2308.html

Too good to be true? Maybe but it might be worth taking a flyer for the $236! Anyone done business with this site?

Just when you read this "30% OFF when paying with Western Union or Bank"

you can easily understand its a scam, "30% discount because the save credit card fees", c'mon... :roll:

WELL, Guanaco - take a look at your own posts to me - patronizing, insulting, critical and officious. What - have you got an inferiority complex or something? Grow up.

Inferiority complex? Sorry but I have nothing to feel inferior about, should I? lol; Funny thing is that the only one with a complex here is you, some sort of superiority complex it seems, or actually, an inferiority complex, since those who have one try to always prove themselves to others on how 'superior' they are to them, reminds me of you bud. Anyways, of course I'm going to criticize you if you're gonna do something stupid like buying from scam sites after all the warnings; you seem to mistake advice for something else. Like I asked, who do you think you are coming here, correcting us and then calling us bastards? Heh, in the end it's funny to be honest, someone who thinks we're martyrizing him yet we we're only offering advice. The only one who needs to grow up is YOU. In none of the posts I have insulted you like you claim, I have only TRIED to give you some guidance which you stupidly decided to ignore. So why not stop crying for a minute here, sunshine?
