Hi Omega friends,
can anyone tell me what this offer is about:

http://forums.watchnet.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=724278&rid=0

the seller is offering it for 2200$..I contacted him to see if he really exists..and he replied.
he offered it to me on the 1059 bracelet for 1900$ payed via paypal..in my opinion far to cheap...

could be/ will be a scam..but why should a scammer accept paypal?
Has anybody else seen this offer and already contacted the seller...the entire thing smells a little bit like fraud..


..and by the way...NO - I am not the seller and I don't know the seller
I am just interested in the watch and wanted to share my ideas with you...

Thanks

 

I thought the watch was in Peru

The scammers can still collect from paypal. If they don't send a package, you can get a refund after 2 weeks. If they send an empty box, good luck.

 

Buy the Seller!

 

100 per cent scam

Enough said

 

thats the same seller as from the forum offer....I asked him for feedbacks...he sent me a link to his current ebay offer...

and he sent me a weird video in which he wants to proof the accuracy of the flight master...he said he is italian who lives in southern america..
very very weird story...he got 30 positive ebay feedbacks on his since april existing accounts... but none as a seller
I think this guy tries to scam via forums and via ebay...

 

I contacted him via ebay and he replied..so thats 100% the same person...

 

As an added warning:
Years ago I bought a £1000 speedmaster from Ireland. I paid Paypal, thinking if it messes up. Ill get my money.
The seller managed to counterfeit a Post Office reciept to my UK address, with tracking. This showed on the system as delivered, but to a totaly different address - the post office confirmed it had been delivered to an adress 400 miles from me.
Paypal (when I could get hold of them - which I could hardly ever) refused to accept I had not recieved the parcel - they had a reciept, officially printed by the post office and to my address. Then one of the PP people said, look, we will just file it as a "item not as described".
It all went horribly wrong, mainly because I simply could not talk to a human, and even when I did , they had to use automated response systems. This fraud, did not have a catagory. It might now.
Now I always talk to the seller by phone. Rarely will an internet scammer talk to me, whereas a genuine seller is eager. That too may change!

 

All correct again.

This is a dedicated scammer to avoid

 

When it looks to good to be true, then often it is a Scam. :-(
Its an bad World out there. And Paypal doesnt help you!!! The only Thing that Paypal has is a good Marketing Department.

 

A similar situation happened to me last year.

Seller shipped something, which never left Italy, and never made it to the U.S., and this was verifiable from both the foreign post and UPS.

Basically PayPal rules state that from certain countries including Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, and others, proof of shipment is all that is required for a seller to be protected. Signature confirmation is not required from those countries.

I eventually got my money back, but it took 6 months and a lawyer... I plan to write a detailed post on my findings to prevent it from happening to someone else.

 

Looking forward to your post. Outrageous.
Paypal needs some competition.
