Conversations with a lurking Chronotrader scam artist!!!

Scroll down to the bottom and read up

I posted a wtb Post on Chronotrader - this guy pretending to be Larry Seiden responded

Larry Seiden is a well respected IWC collector.
I found a post he had written a few years back where he suggested that the best way to spot a scammer responding to a WTB ad is to have the seller take a picture with the time set to a certain time and if the seller has the watch he should be able to supply a picture with no effort.

I made a request of this person claiming to be Larry Seiden and this was the response

Another thing of note is that I found these exact same pictures on google when I did a search for 1153BN

-----------------------/--------------------

please verify me by finding out about me first before before giving me such a task.. i have been in this business for almost 8 years now...if you are having doubt about my sales no problem...i have much better more better things to do than doing what you ask me to do...sorry if i sound so rude i have met not less than 16,000 buyers in this online sales and having doing that they end up not paying, so if you trust me pay and i will deliver your watch to you immediately but if you are suspecting foul play, you can as well leave the watch...there so much buyer ready to buy at once...thanks!"

I'm not sure what to make of the ref check site - let's do this the old fashion way - please send me a picture of this watch with the time set to 7:20.

Ok - for wire transfer - I need to ask for a few references - is there anyone that you have sold watches to on onthedash that you can refer me to?

Looks like it is in relatively good condition, is the reference number and serial number still visible?

For sale is my beloved very rare Heuer Carrera. It is the Yachting / Regatta variant with the Regatta countdown at the minute counter.

The watch keeps great time, and all functions are working properly. All parts of the watch are 100% authentic.

I'm asking a fair 1800.00 GBP for everything which includes shipping via FedEx and insurance to your doorstep. Watch and I are located in UK
