Beware this guy

[DaytonaSubmariner]

I am hyper sensitive when it comes to dealing with anyone on any forum. I assume that the account is hacked and basically force the seller to prove they are who they say they are. I was ripped off a little over a year ago from someone that hacked an account. Luckily for me, it was only $500.
Recently, I may have missed out on what could have been a great buy on a DRSD, but it just seemed a bit too good so I probed more.
I requested first hand references. The seller said I should look at his eBay account, which had stellar references. Then I actually requested photos of the watch with a dated sign. Once I had requested this, there was no more correspondence with the seller.
I saw that the seller had then posted an OHPF in his thread. The following day, the sale thread was gone (this is on TRF).
I'm not exactly sure what happened. I did receive another email from the seller stating that the watch was sold after I questioned.

In the end, it's better to be cautious and take your time to ensure everything is correct. Scammers will only have to get away with it once for it to payoff for them. In my case, it was $40K, so the payoff would have been huge.

I'm going to be putting a couple of my watches up for sale soon. I don't have many posts on this forum, but I do have references. It's up to me to ensure the buyer feels the transaction is safe for them and I am who I say I am.

If someone pushes back on giving you information - red flag.
