Mark: Sorry to hear this, I'm hoping it all works out for you. If you need to report the info on the DJ to the authorities, the model is 116234 and the serial # is M****. Let me know if you need anything else or if there is anything I can do for you. Regards, Tim

I know this looks bad however look at the time frame here, it is Christmas and the post office or Fed Ex could be delayed we do have snow in the United States. Also the guy must have a phone number to the house, look it up on the internet and give him a call. Also look at where he lives at in relation to the income of the neighborhood. Do some more investigating here and use networking.

Again, I wish for the best of outcome on your situation. Something that has always bugged me is that folks on Ebay when leaving feedback, even after agreeing to not follow through with the purchase, leave positive feedback as if they had purchased the item. Then a week later, the item is for sale again. As I quote DavidSW above, to no fault of his own, he did not feel right about this situation. In my opinion, it is in the best interest of all forum members to share these contacts and/or bad feelings about newbies on this forum. If it is a misunderstanding, then it can be rectified at the end. I for one lost a Rolex on this forum, my fault completely, and I shared it with everyone about my situation. The delivery address was in Phoenix, Arizona, and to this day there has been no follow through by the authorities. It is also known that Phoenix is a zestpool for criminal activity, thus my problem did not seem to rise to the attention or top of the list for the investigators. On the other hand, I feel that there are some great law enforcement in South Carolina and your outcome should be different. My hopes are that justice will do you right on this one. However, if something was to happen to this individual, whether "deserved" or by accident, many folks on this forum are offering harm. Folks, please, do not communicate this on an open forum as there could be consequences. Please be careful, anyone can monitor this thread without been a member. Again, I hope nothing but the best for you in this situation. But like in my case, it may not be now or in the near present, but at the end they will pay for their mistakes! |

I didn't think the price of $12,000 was out of line, given the number of similarly priced 16618 watches on ebay.

I hate to be bring on bad news to this already horrible situation. But, I own property, and have had tenants order things online to my name. Being that the property is registered to me, there has never been anything suspicious.
I have never had anything bad happen, just got annoyed that someone would do that. My identity was stolen in 2001 and again someone ordered a credit card in the name of the landlord. When they tracked down where items were shipped to and where the cc was mailed to, it checked out fine. When the police spoke to the land lord, he said that the renters had left and that he was receiving cash or money order for rent. He had no idea where they came from and where they went. Maybe the case here. The registered owner of the house might be oblivious to what happened. Good Luck dude, hope all works out.

OMG, what a cluster@%#k!
I feel terrible about this Joey. I've been blessed to have great dealings on four occasions so far on this esteemed site. The first one as a newbie here. But now in reading this, we all have learned a valuable lesson, but hopefully not at your expense. Keep us posted in case it's been a misunderstanding with this clown, or not. Got to find this guy. Many ideas comes to mind, none nice. Alot of support here for you from every member post I've read since the first, regarding this misfortune. We'll all have a good thought for you. |

This should serve to prove how important the trusted sellers here are. I wouldn't buy from anyone unless the majority of the people here either know or have dealt with before. You know who I am referring to.... DavidSW, Mosco, BodyBump to name a few.
I myself am trying to sell one of my watches. I expect to not be trusted as I have never sold anything on line ever. Not here, not ebay or even craigslist.... nowhere. But I offer a face to face to make someone feel more comfortable. I will even take Pay Pal. Not to beat a dead horse, but the original seller didn't offer a face to face or show the original paper work (for which he got in trouble), or even accepted Pay Pal, I mean this dude only wanted a wire transfer. Everything about this guy was suspect. I may be making the sale of my watch harder on myself, but I just wanted to express my concerns on buying anything of value on the internet, no matter how trusted the web site is. And besides, I have nothing to hide and am open to full disclosure.

Sorry to hear about this, I was scammed Nov. 08 on a watch and it took me a year before I started visiting watch sites again. It's really sad situation that there are people out there like this. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I, too, feel very bad for Joey. In the future, when all these have been resolved to Joey's satisfaction, can we then move to extracting the lessons learned from this transaction... from identifying a scammer to recovering the scammed items.
An informed community is a trustworthy one. Best of luck to Joey and congratulations to all of you who are all supportive and knowledgeable. Very impressive! |
