Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
: Your request can be very easily obtained from anyone selling their
: own watch and the scammer justs asks for the same thing you
: asked for....
: The main issues is proving WHO is selling the watch which must be
: demonstrated in the handwritten note (i.e. “for sale by
: xxxx”). Anyone selling their personal watch will have an issue
: lying about such a thing and most likely won’t provide a
: picture.
I think you might of the missed the part were I asked for the note with his email address. I find that in most of these "middle man" cases, the scammer is using a different email address to contact the actual seller vs. the scam email. So it would be odd for the scammer to ask for the picture I asked for. This should set off a red flag for the actually seller.
