SCAMMER ALERT & EXPOSED! The Fake Salman Hussein and SCAMMER

SCAMMER ALERT & EXPOSED! The Fake Salman Hussein and SCAMMER Sylvester Covington full address and name!

I am tired of hearing stories of honest people getting scammed, and it is sad that this is happening. Here is the FULL name and FULL address of the scammer, trying to pose off as our good watch friend in this community, Salman Hussein (arezzo66@yahoo.com) versus this fake Salman (arezzo66l@yahoo.com). Here is the full details of this scammer:

Name: Sylvester Covington
Home Address:
13 Sandusky Road
City: Daytona Beach
State: FLORIDA
ZIP CODE/POSTAL CODE: 32119

and his bank details:

Bank: TD Bank
Account#: 430-866-9378
Routing#: 031-101-266
SWIFT Code: TDOMCATTTOR
Banks address:
1590 S. Nova Rd, Daytona Beach, FLORIDA 32114
Bank telephone number: 386-248-2102
Account holders telephone: 386-333-8920

Of course, the above information is sieved out after a long email exchanged for almost a week over, and I have been luring this ba*stard patiently. If you like to read the email, its all pasted below in chronological order for your reading pleasure.

This is one of the oldest trick used since the dawn of electronic mails but this scammer is pretty smart, leveraging and abusing the "good guys" page on watchnet.

I have deliberately lured the scammer into giving his full address and his full name so that if there is any of you reading out there, residing near this b*stard, or is a law enforcer, go and raid this guy. For obvious reasons, if I can, I would have gone to this guy's doorstep and report him to the police. But we are talking several thousands of miles away from each other.

So if you have a direct email if I can assist any law enforcer to catch this crook, please write to me.

Here is the chain of email that I have rearranged in chronological order, how I have tried to re-con (if there is such a word) this con man into giving his full address and handphone number.

I was wondering if you would be interested in a white dial daytona 116520 SS V series in MINT condition w/box and complete papers. A relative of mine gave it to me to sell for him, he only wants $6,600 for it. Guess he ran into some money issues and needs to sell. I just don't need any more Daytonas right now. Let me know.

When I sell for another person I usually give the buyer the person whom watch I am selling bank info so it can go directly to the owner. Makes it easier on my part.

I do have the watch in my possession and will be shipping it myself.

As Singapore requires an address and contact number of the receipient before bank wire can proceed due to anti money laundering act.

Thanks.

Jack,
Your relationship manager said the wire will be sent Monday. Do you know how long it will take to clear since it's a international wire? Will it be the same day? Let me know so I can tell my brother when to inspect the wire.

Usually it will be cleared on the same day since Singapore business time ends the time where US starts the business day.

So I assume it will be in on Monday.

Hi Salman

My bank relationship manager just called me say that bank wire was on hold as Southern Commerce Bank reply to us that the account holder's address and phone (either one) is incorrect.

May I confirm the beneficiary full residential address on file with bank and phone number on file with bank too?

Thank you.

Jack

Jack,
My relative said the address he first signed up with his bank is.
13 Sandusky Rd
City: Daytona Beach
State: FLORIDA
ZIP CODE/POSTAL CODE: 32119

Check your account now and then and update me when you receive the funds. You can send to my usual mailing address as per our last transaction once funds received.

Jack,
My relative just gave me a call and told me the wire is not going to go through because the bank info he gave me was to his old bank account. It is a closed account so the wire should be sent back to your account soon because it will not clear.
He has gave me his correct bank information for when the wire comes back to you. You should call your RM and inform him about the situation. Let me know what he says we might have to wait a day for the wire to come back to your account. Sorry for the troubles.
Salman

Ok Salman.
I have informed my relationship manager.

Can I have the new bank account and details so that I can forward these to my relationship manager?
Best Rgds,
Jack
