After that, he heard nothing. He contacted "Linda Meyer" after several weeks. She replied back several weeks later with this:

"Please accept our apologies for our late reply. We have a new anti spam and several messages are unfortunately deleted.
We are still waiting for a delivery for the ordered model.
If we do not receive it in May we will credit your account.
Thank you for your reply.
Kind regards.
Linda Meyer .- sales"

Then, nothing for months, until he received this:

"Thank you for your patience and please accept our apologies for our late reply.

I have checked. It seems that your watch had been shipped several weeks ago. Linda Meyer is on vacation yet. Please give me more information.

Please do not worry all our goods are insured.

Thank you for your reply.

Best regards.
Robert Stanton"

My friend asked what information SKW needed, and Robert replied with this:

"Thank you for your reply.

I will check and do all necessary.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards.
Robert"

That is the last my friend heard from SKW.

So, if anyone wants to give up thousands of dollars, just go to SKW.net. They will be sure to give you the runaround and only deliver merchandise when it suits them. NEVER do a wire transfer. Once the money is out of your bank account, you have NO legal action to get it back since you are the one who authorized it in the first place.
