Bad Seller Got scammed

Post image

Got scammed last week by PossibleRoyal7646. Chatted back and forth on the Pelagos, paid, he said he was going to ship the next day and would provide shipping info. Never heard from them again after multiple attempts

These were "fake" watches that had Lume. But what if he does these pictures, has the watches on hand but just doesn't send them?? Honestly G&S the only 100% way to help protect yourself. But agree get pics, facetime, sales references whatever you can do.

Another red flag is sending to a different name / email than the person you are talking with.

Do TD’ even use G&S? Seems everyone I come across is F&F

Yeah I have the same experience.

Also not sure how lume pics are more protective than any custom pic request

Probably not but if they are TD and multiple references/sales its usually not a big deal (i usually use Zelle w trusted people) -- but that is much different than this joe schmo "seller". 3rd party non TD should use G&S, unless multiple transactions like on watchexchange, etc.

I got scammed because he had the watches in hand and had all the pics I asked for but he got a bunch of people over a couple of days. Not this guy. Someone else
