In order for google to link and prioritise the name Stefan Birgir Stefansson and Icelandic scammer it should be repeated in as many posts as possible.
I really hope Stefan Birgir Stefansson from Iceland is beginning to sweat as his identify as a serial scammer has been revealed. And maybe Stefan Birgir Stefansson really does get a knock on the door from the Iceland police and gets a criminal record for his watch scams.
Speaking personally, I have a strict policy of not getting in the middle of a watch transaction between two other parties. For example, I've had people who have purchased a watch from someone, and asked if the seller can send it directly to me for service, rather than to the buyer.
I always refuse - the buyer needs to take possession of the watch first, determine if the watch was as described by the seller, and deal with any issues related to that on their own. Once they determine that the watch meets their expectations, then they can send it to me for service. I don't want to be the middleman...so for me personally, the idea of brokering trades would be a hard pass.

This makes so much sense.
With that said, a service that offered strong identity verification and authentication and could act as a financial broker for a fee would be invaluable. Sounds like I'm just describing Chrono24 though.

OF poll - chances that this is a lie? I think it'd be paying out $1.01 if I was a betting agency.

Perhaps time for a different (perhaps unpopular) sound. I have assisted many perpetrators in my life. Some were incorruptible lawbreakers, but there was also a part that simply made wrong choices, of which others were the victims. These people must be punished and the victims must be compensated (preferably with a regret from the perpetrator). However, afterwards someone must be able to continue with their life. And the question is if someone's name is forever visible on the internet as being a scammer, then the question is whether that is in the interest of the individual but also of society. After all, if someone cannot measure a job because of this, the risk of recidivism is considerable. Moreover, I believe that someone should be able to make a new start after his sentence. I understand that there will be little sympathy for this position at the moment, but we are all not flawless.
