Recently I had a guy contact me via instagram wanting to buy my Alaska, after we chatted for a bit he requested that I send him additional photos including the LE number of my Alaska. At this point, he confirmed the purchase and we agreed upon a wire transfer as the payment method. The next day he claimed to have sent the money via wire transfer from his bank however, after checking with my bank after 24 hours they could not confirm a pending transfer coming into my account. I checked again 48 hours later and still nothing. During this time, this guy demanded I send him that watch regardless of the funds clearing in my account. I obviously told him thats not how I conduct business and he tried to accuse me of doing bad business.
NOTE. He also screenshot all my photos of my Alaska including the photo of my LE number, so be very very careful
I don't like to say any names publicly but if you are concern you can DM me and I will give you his IG name.
BEWARE SELLERS and BUYERS. LOTS of scams out there during the holidays.

 

Thanks. Where is he based?

 

My only experience receiving a wire transfer -from Singapore to my credit union in the US- the $ was in my account in less than 12 hours from the time the transfer was initiated.

 

Scammers are everywhere. Never release until funds are in your account. End of story.

He also have photos and detail photos of my Alaska Project including the LE number which is (1584/1970) beware if he wants to sell you an Alaska Project.

 

How is the sale going @nima0071 ?
The Alaska seems to have really increased in market value these last 2years.
Why are you selling yours?

 

I have 2 white dials. snoopy and Alaska. So one needs to go. Making room for a new incoming.

 

Canada

 

It seems counterproductive that you would make a post telling people to avoid scammer you encountered and then refuse to mention his username publicly.

I understand your respect for privacy - but in this case, the warning is not very useful.

 

If you pay attention I mention his name on Instagram. Please read again in the comments.

 

Saw this, hopefully it can help you in your sale

 

You should read the forum rules instead of consistently breaking them

 

12 post in one day about your Alaska project you want to sell..

It is a pretty nice job from a new comer

 

TOP!

Who else is mad they didn't buy an Alaska when they were peanuts? Sorry off topic but UGH!

 

I am gutted that I passed on one.
