@Toolwatchtool Mate, selling what he's selling (flashy jewelry and high-end watches) sooner or later he will scam the wrong person and that will be that, he'll be in the ER having his patellas patched back together. I know his kind, they are smart enough to get away with shit for just long enough to think they are invincible before being hit with The Dildo of Consequences; and that particular implement rarely comes lubed.
This will be the only way he stops since it would appear as though no officials or authorities have done anything to assist his victims or stop his future scams. Scumbags like this guy target our hobby because they know that it's a gray area as far as the law goes. They are banking on the fact that the victims will remain silent and/or law enforcement will do nothing. Unfortunately, they are typically correct.
Replica or not, these are all items with an intrinsic monetary value. The AP in question is really a "custom-made" timepiece with an actual dollar amount equal to $9k. It's beyond disheartening that nothing has been done to reclaim the victim's funds by any legal agency.
he is a dirty self admitted criminal , his family knows about his life choices and does nothing about it.
Karma.
I am not surprised that his family is aware of his behavior. I'm not attempting to psychoanalyze the guy but I feel that these newer "lifestyle" scammers are all similar. They present an image of affluence and an affinity for high-end goods. They attempt to bait possible victims with high-value items that they may or may not have in their possession. Luka is more than likely showing photos of diamond jewelry for sale that are just that; photos.
It's not as if these guys are out running the streets robbing, slinging dope, and being shot at over $50 deals. That would require too much "work" for the Lukas of the world. I've also seen his photo and he's not built for that world. Instead, he is safely hiding behind his computer, creating content on his social media accounts, and dangling one or two items to his audience in hopes of scamming another sale. Most of these idiots turn out to be young and still living at home with their families. Assuredly, Luka's parents are aware of his choices and allow him to continue under their roof which makes them just as despicable and culpable in my opinion.
I'm not advocating violence by any means however, street justice is often the only thing that puts an end to such foolishness.
