Please help shut down ebay scammer that sent me a rep strap...

[DR3M3L]

So my good friend gave me a heads up after I bought a strap from these guys, thinking that there is no way that with 70 positive feedbacks they could have gotten away with selling 70+ rep straps and all good feedback. My friend is one of our #1 pam guys here and it was absolutely true. The clasp is garbage, the fonts on the packaging are wrong, the quality is not even Noob or H maker but just junk. Can't believe I was scammed like that and yes he is offering the money back but I feel like I would rather lose the $350 and get this guy shut down somehow before he scams anymore of us. Needless to say the guy sends me a cocky email and I need some help reporting this guy as an ebay scammer as I am taking it personally that if he tricked me who knows how many gen and rep guys like us he has conned. Strap is not only a rep he sent for $350 but a very cheap one at that.... Here is the link and it IS fake so please report this scammer!!

Just seen your thread over on p.com as well, I'll report it as well asap. Sorry for your loss, hope others do not get burnt!

The way he hides the item codes in all of his auctions. Makes me wonder... Shall we report his ass to Panerai also?

Yes.. whatever we can think of to do, this arse is so cocky it is insane. It is 100% rep and pretty bummed

Get your money back THEN fire his ass off ebay. No sense in being out of pocket as well.

What a surprise, these scammers work from a virtual office in Irvine CA

Assuming you paid via PP, open a paypal dispute saying he's selling counterfeit PAM watchstraps and offering to send them the band for their inspection (as it's a felony to use their service plus the US mail). They will close him down in a heartbeat.

Bought one as well and immediately knew it was fake. Called him out in feedback (I left the lone negative feedback) and he threatened to sue. I had no documentation saying it was fake so I had to change it. Someone needs to shut this scam artist down.

Um, he can't sue you for claiming it is a fake. Anyways, I reported him to eBay and Panerai.

Just sent a message to Panerai as well!

I messaged him, he was a dick. Now I'll e-mail Panerai.

I'd have called his bluff. Just using bully tactics to keep his scam going. Anyway hopefully Panerai will close his ass down. I also contacted them about him so we'll see what happens.

i doubt in his stuff also:

at least the font looks off (too thick and deep)

Yup, I should have called him out. But since I had no proof and had sent the strap back, I didn't want to chance that he would pull a gen strap out of his ass and then try to come after me. Just wasn't worth investing any time/$.

Looks like he has no items listed. Victory?

 

[stealth1234]

Ugh, he's back as 'watch-band-source'. Still peddling the same fake crap.

It's not hard to find him by his ip. They could easily get him.
