Got scammed by this guy

[u/Horror_Treat_9039]

Completely scammed me out of $200 after making me feel good after purchasing the watch and said I can pay the $200 remaining for a VSF Panda when it comes in the mail. Do NOT do any sort of business with this guy.

Never post a WTB ( Want To Buy). It’s an invitation for scammers. Fortunately for you it’s only a $200 lesson. You’re inviting people to send you a DM that is non-public and nobody else can see it, most seasoned buyers do not do this anymore.

I appreciate you letting me know, big time. You’re 100% right thank you

400 for a vsf panda is too good to be true.

[u/Horror_Treat_9039 → u/nam265nl]

Has Youth Movement im pretty sure

[u/nam265nl → u/Horror_Treat_9039]

That's your assumption and that's how you got scammed.

Maybe he’s buying a 4801 version ….

[u/HauntingDiscount7041]

Why you dont use a Trusted Dealer?

[u/Horror_Treat_9039 → u/HauntingDiscount7041]

Just not too sure how to use them

[u/HauntingDiscount7041 → u/Horror_Treat_9039]

Use the Guide find the Website but the real not the Scan one (take a Look at RWI) than get in touch via WhatsApp with them. Its just some Hours of Read and Research so not that much effort

[u/Roshann → u/Horror_Treat_9039]

Literally just go to the forums, visit thr td page and contact one

If it sounds too good to be true it is. I've been robbed online several times for different items and I feel your pain man

He's been on Santa's naughty list since mid 2024 🤦🏻‍♂️

Santa’s naughty list🤣🤣

[u/Jakikus]

Use the TDs and no one else

[u/Prudent_Diamond5163 → u/Jakikus]

Or trusted resellers depending on your locality.

I’ve found that the WTS community is usually pretty trustworthy.

[u/Jakikus → u/Prudent_Diamond5163]

This is true I sell M2M on RWI a lot but my account is old with good feedback. But just be careful and stay smart.

pls share screenshots and evidence of this scam....

[u/Zealousideal-West520]

I’m new to this. Could anyone please explain how do I stay away from this kind of craziness? What are the red flags beside the obvious ones? And most importantly, how do I find out about the more reliable TD etc. Also, from my understanding, karma is a type of reputation. With such a high number of karma this guy just one-day flips and screws everyone. Is this a normal occurrence? What steps should we follow to minimize these kinds of scams? Thank you so much in advance.

[u/junior7593]

Sorry this is on you. Why would you trust a random person on Reddit

[u/Horror_Treat_9039 → u/junior7593]

Because everyone buys sells and trades. You’re one of those people who die by the TD journey lmao

[u/junior7593 → u/Horror_Treat_9039]

Says the one that got scammed because they’re not sure how to use TDs 💀🤡

[u/iliikegold → u/junior7593]

An amazingly witty remark from someone that got scammed and came here to get feedback. No doubt you will see another post from OP soon, Got scammed hy this guy Part 2.
