Thanks Roff! Good to know you are on the job!

My very first online transaction was a scam 8 or 9 years ago, so I learned a lesson very early. We can never be too careful.

Hey guys, just wanted to provide a little more info here.

As a Mod I have access to some other information so I can tell you that NaturalComposer has been to BreitlingSource since this all happened yesterday, and obviously has chosen not to comment.

I can also see where users are posting from, and Natural Composer has posted from 5 different IPs. Now IP addresses are often assigned by IP providers so if multiple users have the same IP address it doesn't necessarily mean that someone is using multiple user IDs. However, 3 of the 5 IPs are only used by NaturalComposer, the other two have another user using the same IP - and it's the same user from both IPs, for multiple posts each.

I can't prove that it's the same person, so I'm not going to post the username, but I have noted it and will be watching any sales threads from that user extremely carefully. I will also check the IPs regularly just in case another new username comes up.

In the meantime, the same rules apply - buy the seller and while the vast majority of new users selling watches are totally legit let's be aware that not everyone on the planet is completely honest!

i dont see how anyone can take the risk of spending thousands on a watch from an user with like 10 posts unless they had steller references. i wouldn't really care if they had high res pics
