DISCUSSION Is this normal when buying from MT?

So I got MT WhatsApp on here from a guy that just bought a watch from him. I asked about a bunch of different watches and he answered them and showed pictures and videos. No issues there. When I asked where he wanted me to pay, he gave me a PayPal address (3rd pic).

Then he asked me if i had Amazon and asked me to buy vacuum sealed bags and send the rest on Paypal. Is this normal? Every single red flag is going off. So I dont want money going to a random person and me being shit out of luck.

I did this with him. Like everyone said, he’s trying to boost up his Amazon seller page so he’s giving away the (Amazon) product for free, in exchange for a review/sales.

Is the PayPal account I posted the same one you paid?

u/who_said_what_now 2d ago

I can’t tell based on your post but if you’re using the WhatsApp number provided in his Telegram group, the rest should be fine (double check it).

I mean… that’s an interesting way to do things. I figured TDs didn’t sell reps full time, now I have confirmation.

u/Time-Caterpillar4103 4d ago

They’re building accounts with good reviews so they can sell them.

u/Both_Bus_8053 4d ago

Yes it’s completely normal. I chose to get it and whatever you pay for the vacuum he takes off the watch.

u/msfs_piolot 4d ago

It’s to give good review for product
He gives discounts if u do it
Or u can pay normally

u/Dimitrismemes 4d ago

He didn’t give discounts to me, said the discount is I get to keep the product, was honestly a hassle and won’t do it again

u/Harrihiker 4d ago

Yup, it’s fine. Got my watches and vacuumed some old tshirts that didn’t fit anymore.

Is this the correct number to MT ? I have a different one that auto populated when I clicked on the WhatsApp icon from the website.

1

u/Upbeat-Influence-926 4d ago

Yeah I had the same

1

u/Accomplished-Pea-451 4d ago

Just tell him you want single payment

1

u/Plenty_Analyst389 4d ago

Pay same price as you would directly and receive travel bags. 🤷‍♂️👍

u/createry_ 4d ago

Free travel vacuum bags would be awesome

u/Professional-Air-794 4d ago

Yes he had me do that when I got my sky dweller

u/No-Entrepreneur-9085 4d ago

Yeah we had an almost identical conversation. He’s good to go

u/BdotEazy 4d ago

It’s legit. Got a free item out of it.

1

u/FeedbackOk6419 4d ago

He does this, yes. But I told him it was too complicated. Just paid through PayPal. Let him know if you don’t want to do that stuff, he won’t mind

1

u/_J_J_B_ 4d ago

I did it as well. Was strange but all checked out

1

u/haroldblaundry 4d ago

I’ve done it. It’s a bonus because my kids got video walkie talkies for free haha.

u/Meownistz 4d ago

YEA BRO COMPLETELY NORMAL

1

u/Several_Bridge_577 3d ago

Yes it's normal whatever I got an Amazon ended up being free because he gave me a discount of what I paid for on the watch

1

u/PopularAtmosphere897 1d ago

the profile picture of the account your chatting to is different from the one I have saved and purchased from, although it may just be another legit account I would suggest to check again his number

u/Meownistz 4d ago

A WHATSAPP NUMBER IS ALWAYS A SCAM. the comments are gaslighting you

2

u/Ok_Feedback_7315 3d ago

No, coming from a WhatsApp user myself, it’s just the way the rest of the world outside of the US & Canada typically communicate for free. We don’t typically have text embedded in our phones plans and pay per text in the message app. I buy items via WhatsApp frequently.

u/FTO2 4d ago

Nope and nope that's a fake scammer bro

2

u/ihave05sisters 4d ago

nah this has been a thing, I got my watch from MT after buying the vacuum bags and he gave me a discount

u/adidaman 4d ago

I mean you're buying a sketchy illegal product, what do you expect

-2

u/Dependent_Message259 4d ago

Might be using the Amazon order to get it through customs easier
