I posted that I was interested in purchasing an Austin branded Nivada Grenchen in the WTB forum a few days ago. Out of the blue, a new “member” shows up today with zero posts, somehow stumbles on my post out of all the glorious info on this site, says he’s got a lead, and to email “George” because he happens to have one. Color me skeptical.

 

Good job staying vigilant. This is a well known scam tactic that hits just about every WTB. Just report it and they will get banned.

 

Not sure how to report it except to loop Ash in @dsio

 

George? They could have at least been more imaginative with the name.

 

In the message next to the reply is the report option



Looping Ash in like you did is a good option too

 

Much appreciated. Learn watch stuff here and how to navigate compruders too

 

Done.

 

Oldest trick in the book.

 

I am an exiled prince from a famous country that has had much publicity lately. I have the watch you want but it is locked in my palace vault along with millions in precious coins, jewels and gold. The vault is currently controlled by guards. The cost of bribing the guards to get back into my vault is $1,000 American dollars. If you advance me the $1k via wire transfer, I will be able to access my valuables and send you not only the watch you desire, but a gift of $100k American Dollars for your kindness.

I await your reply.

 

These guys are like herpes.

 

Scammers always make me think of Eddie Murphy’s line to the redneck in 48 Hours: “Too fucking stupid to have a job.”

 

A Prince of Israel

 

I believe that Lord Baltimore is more appropriate. That being said. he really is a prince of a guy.

 

I guess I'm a redneck, I use a BMW 650i as a tractor to pull logs out of the woods.
P.S. I used to have a job, retired now.

 

As well as this???

 

^That’s hilarious.^

 

I guess that it’s also the ultimate pulling machine too!

 

lol. That’s funny!

 

Idk in Norway we call that a lawn? But quite good for a autobahn machine.
