I posted a WTB add for a monaco a few days ago. I received the email offering a 1533g at $4000 with shipping and insurance included. What a joke! Since I took the day off to watch the world cup I decided to have fun with this guy. I Invested around 6 hours messing up with this guy. If you see any offer by this email stephen.bell17@outlook.com is totally a scam. The guy even created a fake profile in timezone and posted fake watches.
Anyway, start reading at the bottom of the post. Have fun and be careful. This is the classic way they scam you. He even sent pictures which I couldn't track so they are getting better. Oh, and everything I mention in the emails is a lie of course.
The scammer got away.... this time. As for me, I am still looking for my grail, the 1533g (lol)

Dear Asshole,

Keep on looking for the fake payment and I will wait for your fake watch to arrive. How about that? Does it ever work?? I guess it must work a few times since you and your kind keep doing the same thing and giving the same “ I have dealt with 16,000 transactions “ crap every freaking time.
16,000 buyers, what a joke.
Crawl back to the hole from where you and your kind came from. This was me waisting your time and giving you false hope that you had another fool in your hands. By the way I was laughing my ass off with every response you sent me.

Regards,
Jaime

Awesome! I will do it immediately, I just need to be sure; you are not gonna send me a picture of your ass instead of a watch right? My wife would kill me if that would happen again.

I am so sorry Stephen. I know you must be very busy. I kinda fill bad for demanding the picture. Its not you, its me. I trust you, the thing is that one time I bought a watch in a forum and the seller even gave me a tracking number and everything and when I opened the envelope (not even a box!) I just got a picture of a man’s naked ass. Can you believe that? I only lost $800 but still I felt pretty dumb.

You are giving me a great price, and I intend to take advantage of this opportunity. Send me your bank info and I will make the direct deposit.
Again I am really sorry and I hope you still want to sell me the watch.

regards,
jaime

Steve I am having trouble checking this references. I think it would be better if you just take a picture with the watch set at 3:15 and write my name on a piece of paper. Please put the watch with set time near the piece of paper, take a picture, send it to me and we are good to go.

Thank you,
Jaime

Hi Stephen,
I already have two Rolex and I hate Panerai watches so I guess it will only be the monaco.
Do you have any references I can check?

That sounds great! Also do you have any more watches on sale? I just got a big bonus at the company, plus I sold a watch recently so I am looking to invest in the right watches.
I am looking for anything vintage.

Hi Stephen,
I am really interested, how would you prefer payment? I am located in the US, would you be able to ship here?
Could you tell me a little bit more of the watch, like any service done or where you bought it? anything would be great.

thank you,
Jaime
