| Post subject: | Chronotimepiece.com SCAM...... Breitling Hercules Stolen |
I wanted to post my experience here and if any info is available I would appreciate it greatly....I had a "watch broker" contact me to purchase a watch that I had for sale on craigslist in Charleston SC....The guy was from Wilmington NC and went by the name of Shane Gray while dealing with me.His website "Chronotimepiece" was fully operational and the phone system worked including extentions that patched directly to him.I e-mailed,texted,and talked with him on the phone several times with no issue over the coarse of about a week...I was very hesitant to send my watch to him so I said I'd like to meet in person and he said that would be fine but that it would have to be about 2 weeks because he was opening a location in Asheville NC...Me being anxious to sell decided to ship the watch COD by UPS.He had me send it to a UPS terminal in Hendersonville NC which seemed "safer" to me.I was under the impression that Cashiers Checks couldnt be counterfieted....WRONG! So basically I shipped the watch, he signed for it and gave UPS a counterfeit Cashiers check that was mailed to me and now I'm out of a Breitling Hercules....UPS is NOT responsible for verifying the authenticity of a check even if the package was insured like mine WAS.That seems rediculous that a huge company like UPS doesn't have the means to do this in my opinion. I can post the serial number if this may help recover it.If anyone has any suggestions on getting my money or watch back it would be appreciated... |

I spoke with UPS for a long time and they basically say that insurance was only to cover lost or damaged items. I specified that the COD had to be money order or cashiers check.They said that they accepted the cahsiers check like specified but have no way of telling if its real or not.....? This transaction had no indication of being a scam beforehand... So then I go to my local authorities and they really give no assistance.They state that since it wasnt "stolen" they wont even put he serial number in the nationwide data base of stolen goods.I was hoping to maybe recover the watch from a pawnshop possiblyThey state that thisis a case of fraud but not theft since we had a purchase arrangement....? What really? I have a couple of alliaces for this person: Shane Gray Travis Barker Jack Miller Phone numbers #: 910 493 3142 910 409 3980 |

I always wondered what Travis Barker from Blink 182 was doing these days!!!!!!!!!!! Collecting Lings? Good luck getting this one fixed, sad that this type of stuff happens............  but then again scams like this wouldn't happen if people would use common sense no matter how cash stapped they are. |

I would go back to the police station and demand that they enter the serial number of your stolen watch into the national criminal information center. They are just being lazy. You're in South Carolina right? http://www.offendersolutions.com/state_ ... 0theft.htm SECTION 16 13 230. Breach of trust with fraudulent intent. or SECTION 16 13 240. Obtaining signature or property by false pretenses. |

It's not that far. Why don't you visit him...At least go and notify local police if you can't find him. You know...Make it personal. You might be surprised at what you can find in his old neighborhood. |

Fraudulent means to acquire property is a Class 4 felony in my state. I'm sure it is in S.C. as well. |

There is a Hercules for sale on WUS if you care to see if that is yours. Slim chance but maybe the guy is looking to dump it on one of the forums for quick cash. |
