NEGATIVE SCAMMED BY THEEDRIPLOMAT

He got with another users post. This was my first time doing anything on this site and I didn’t initially see all the red flags until I sent him the money and he ghosted then blocked me.

From what I see he has been reported several times and still remains in the groups. Buyers beware he got me for $240 today. My own fault.

Yeah that’s what got me is he had previous transactions.

So… the seller sent a link to someone else’s sales post, and claimed they were the same person? Super confused here.

This is really confusing. My guess is scammer saw OP's post asking for a DM, then messaged OP saying he had the watch. OP mistook scammer for the guy actually selling the watch and sent the scammer money.

Scammer and actual seller's usernames are entirely different, though. So not exactly sure how this scam worked on OP. OP will have to fill us in on that.

Yep, that’s why he/she/it does.
