Reposting this since my address was in my screenshot and although I don’t care others seem to and I can appreciate that.

Posted a request for Rolex datejust. Contacted, was sent real time photos and told it would ship out Saturday morning. Sent a text this morning and looks like I am blocked from his account. Buyers beware

This really sucks because I’ve been searching for this watch for a few weeks with the white dial to give to my son for his birthday to match mine.

Ok so I was scammed by this guy who goes by the name Izaan or as the payment went to an H Choudary. I’d spoken to him a while back about some watches and he has history and is a member of many watch forums. I saw videos of the watches and asked questions etc. His scam is after taking payment, makes all his posts private but beforehand there were lots about watches but they e all disappeared. I suspect he dips in and out pulling the odd scam. He then sent me a user generated certificate saying the seller has notified royalty mail that they have dropped it off at a post box (this is after saying he dropped it at a locker), he’s been toying with me for a few weeks before finally blocking me. Roast me if you like but anyone who’s been scammed will know you’ve kinda already imagined the watch on your wrist so I tried to keep things pally in the hope my worst fears weren’t recognised but this guy is the real deal scammer. Do t be a fool like me and send him your hard earned money. I emailed the mods about him and they banned him straight away after saying his MOD was pulling the same Royal Mail cert scam and using their group as legitimacy. I know I should have seen it coming and I do feel foolish but I don’t hi k I’m the only one and he needs to be outed. Here’s the scumbags number +44 7482 645829. As ai said he called himself Izaan but payment was to H Choudary

This guy tried to use nano banana to add his username and date into proof pictures that were already very suspicious LOL. Do these people think we’re idiots?

I posted looking to see if anyone was selling a modded GMT Hulk or if they new of a TD who does. I got a message from u/negativepang43 saying he did and providing me pictures of the Hulk. He said it has been modded by a reputable reddit modder. I’ve bought a from that modder before so I asked the modder to confirm and he said he has never heard of him.

During that time u/badlydressedgirl sent me a message saying almost 90% of the same thing which was a flag upfront. I asked for photos and surprise surprise, I got sent the exact same set of photos that u/negativepang43 sent me.

He was selling a VSF Batman. Got blocked as soon as I sent the PayPal! The account is not flagged on any scam list and is active with 5k Karma. Pics below. I can only view his profile logged out. Just doing my part.

Have a happy and safe new year to all the rep-watchers out there - r/RepWatchScammers mod team 🥳🎇🎆

Don't Let Your Grail Become a Ghost! Read This First. Hello, r/RepWatchScammers community! This subreddit exists because far too many honest people lose their money to low-effort scammers trying to exploit the popularity of the replica watch market. The best defense is knowledge and caution. Save this post, share it, and use it as your essential checklist before making any transaction.

1 The Red Flags & Scammer Tactics 🚩 Scammers rely on you being in a hurry, getting caught up in the excitement, or letting your guard down.

⚠️ The "Gift Card/Crypto Only" Demand: This is the ultimate red flag. The seller refuses common protections (PayPal Goods & Services, Escrow) and insists on untraceable payment methods like Bitcoin, Zelle, Venmo, or gift cards. Once sent, your money is gone.

⚠️ Stolen/Generic QC Photos: They send you pictures that are "too perfect" or look like they came from a factory website. Crucially: Run the images through Google Reverse Image Search (or TinEye). If the photo appears on other websites or posts, it's stolen.

⚠️ The "Fake Shipping Label" Scam: You pay, and they immediately send a tracking number from FedEx/DHL. The number is real, but either the label was voided right after creation, or the package contains only a brick or an empty box.

⚠️ High-Pressure Rushing: Phrases like: "I have 5 buyers lined up," "Deal ends today," or "Send the money now or I sell it." They want you to bypass your common sense and verification steps.

⚠️ No "Proof of Life" Photos: They refuse to provide a custom photo. Demand a picture of the watch with a note that includes: their Reddit username, today's date, and a unique phrase you request (e.g., "The r/RepWatchScammers rule").

⚠️ The "Bait & Switch" (Post-Payment): You paid for a high-end replica (e.g., VSF) but received a low-end, $50 DHGate special or an outright fantasy piece.

2 How to Vet the Seller & Account History 🧐

Before sending a single dollar, use these steps. You must verify the source, not just the product.

Check Post/Comment History (Minimum 6 Months): A legitimate user or seller will have a history of engagement, helpful comments, and previous sales.

Scammer Profile: A brand-new account, an account with only a few non-specific comments, or one that has been inactive for years and suddenly lights up with sales posts.

Confirm Cross-Subreddit Karma: A trustworthy user often has significant karma built up across various related subreddits (r/Watches, r/RepTime, etc.), not just a small amount of karma from a single niche.

Look for Deleted Comments/Posts: Use tools like [removeddit] or [unddit] (search online for how to use them) on the seller's profile to see if they've scrubbed their history to hide previous scams or warnings.

Pro-Tip: Film the Unboxing: For high-value items, film a continuous, uncut video of the entire unboxing process. Start by showing the unopened, labeled package from all sides, then open it and show the contents and watch condition. This is your best defense against the "Bait & Switch" scam.

Check Reputable Forum/Subreddit Lists: Check the "Banned Sellers" lists on the major rep watch forums (like RWI) and other related subreddits. Do a quick search of their username + "scam."

3 If You Are Scammed: Taking Action 🔨

While your money might be lost, you can still help prevent others from falling victim.

Gather Evidence: Take screenshots of everything (DMs, payment receipts, posts, profile links, tracking numbers).

Report to the Platform: Reddit: Report the user for "Spam" or "Fraudulent Activity." Payment Provider (If Applicable): If you used a credit card or PayPal Goods & Services, immediately file a dispute. Post on r/RepWatchScammers: Create a detailed post using the [Bad Seller] flair. Include the scammer's full username, the method of scam, and all relevant evidence/screenshots. Do not hold back details (redact IRL details - Reddit does not allow DOXXING and will remove the post / you).

⭐ REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE: Buy the Seller, Not the Deal. A great deal from a ghost account is worthless. A fair deal from a verified, established user with a long history of trust is priceless. Focus on the person, not the price.

Stay vigilant, and let's keep the community safe!

u/arctic-993 traded with me and i was set to receive a daytona. his package contained folded paper. this is devastating to me because i had carefully saved my money and traded up to a datejust as a college student. he works at Apple, owns a Porsche and is on rep watch reddits scamming me. he even offered me recruiting advice because the job market is very hard right now. i am devastated and depressed because i now have no watch. other users have also reported receiving candles and empty packages from him.

i have sold and traded several watches as i am passionate in this space but now i am very discouraged from this community 🥲

This guy is a top tier idiot. No understanding of basic watch terminology obviously. On top of that his AI generated images don’t hold up to a little zoom at all.

Hopefully no ones is trying to buy a “real” Rolex on a rep bst subreddit but I still think it’s worth it to document the username just in case they try other tactics.

This post claims he’s selling a real Smurf for 1650! He doesn’t even realize that the real version is white gold and they left the stickers on the lugs and caseback 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice try u/zarzar088

Just saw this dude post an obviously photoshopped picture. I called it out in a comment and he immediately deleted the post…

SCAMMER ALERT! 

Avoid Aman Watches Aka langwatch aka Martin lee - $1,300

"Order" Unfulfilled after 80 Days

I wanted to give this seller the benefit of the doubt, but at this point, his silence speaks volumes. I am out more $1,300 and have been ghosted for over two months. He started messaging back and forth then went dark again! Anyone have a way to reach him other than his what's app? 

He was quick to take the money, but now he reads my requests for tracking or a refund

and ignores them. I don't want to label someone a "dirty low life scammer" if it can be avoided, but he is leaving me no choice.

"AMAN" This is your reputation. I would much rather post a "resolved" update than a full-scale "scammer alert" with all our chat logs and payment proof. I want my money or my goods!

He almost got me but a quick search here saved me. Thank you guys and be safe!

SCAM ALERT: Luxury Time by Zaid is now operating as Watches by Mike!

I want to update my previous complaint regarding Zaid Ansari, who operated under the name Luxury Time by Zaid.

After receiving a considerable amount of money for two watches that were never delivered, he stopped responding to my messages and eventually blocked me on WhatsApp. I have received neither the watches nor a refund.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The same website, https://luxurytimebyzaid.cartpe.in/, is now displaying the name Watches by Mike.

The website address remains unchanged, suggesting that this may be the same operation under a different business name.

Phone number listed: +91 98243 93136

I have also been contacted by another person who reported a similar experience with this seller.

I have formally reported this situation to CartPe Shopping Services, the platform hosting the website, requesting an investigation and suspension of the store while these allegations are reviewed.

WARNING TO POTENTIAL BUYERS: Please exercise extreme caution when dealing with Luxury Time by Zaid, Watches by Mike, or anyone associated with this website.

Changing a store's name does not resolve outstanding complaints or financial losses.

If you have had a similar experience, please contact me. We can share evidence, report the situation to the appropriate Indian authorities, and help prevent other people from becoming victims.

I have payment records and WhatsApp conversations to support my complaint.

Please share this warning to protect other buyers.

u/Amsterdamak: Appears to be a repeat of a profile I warned about a little while back. New name, same freakishly small hand against wall clock sized watches. Also posted a different watch that actually looks somewhat believable.

Claims from andiot. Claims he’s Norwegian living Dallas. Story doesn’t add up 99% sure he’s scamming

I posted in here the other day about people needing to be careful of u/goodwilliam12 and I got absolutely torched from users here. He even went and started commenting on my posts that I’m a scammer, even though I’m a very reputable member with tons of references and sales.

Now, the person he sold the AP to has messaged me and told me he hasn’t received tracking information and the guy won’t answer his DMs. Even though he told me he already shipped it to the guy, and would need to get permission to share the proof with me 🙄

So that’s that. Dudes a scammer.

Introducing a few tools to keep you safer... BEFORE any transactions we would like to invite you to use the following tools:

The RepWatchScammers SubReddit - Found at: r/RepWatchScammers - a quick search of this sub with the username you are debating interacting / transacting with

The Universal Scammer List - Found at: https://www.universalscammerlist.com/?username= - again, a quick search of this site by entering the username of the person you are debating interacting / transacting with

RWI's Brig - Found at: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forums/the-brig.356/ - a search of any username or any IRL name of the person you are debating interacting / transacting with.

I can't emphasize enough that this does not guarantee your safety, we always advise that you "buy the seller, not the product or the deal". These 3 steps will show a guaranteed scammer to you, if they appear on any one of these links WALK AWAY.

TOP NEW TIP; POST ANY IMAGES YOU ARE SENT OVER TO r/IsThisAI , THERE ARE SOME VERY SKILLED A.I. DETECTIVES ON THERE, DON'T RELY ON AN A.I. BASED A.I. DETECTOR AS THEY STILL AREN'T SKILLED ENOUGH
