I've been watching Chronomat Evolutions recently on Ebay and just noticed that 2 auctions have very similar B13356 watches on them.
The "main" (face) pictures are not the exactly the same - different angle and differnt time. But notice the dark wood table and the background.
One of the sellers has 600 feedbacks, the other 0. Two different States - Colorado & Michigan.
I've personally had someone "borrow" my picture and list a Piaget that they didn't have.
Yeah, same watch, notice the chono time is the same relative to regular time.
Here are the 2 auctions:

:uplaugh: They both have the same serial number... enlarge the documents pic on the fraud auction. Whichever one that is. I won't buy a watch off of eBay.

Clearly both listings have the same picture of the COSC certificate, which is shown with visible numbers in a picture displaying all packaging. Funnily enough, they both also have a close-up pic of the certificate with the numbers blacked out. I guess nobody bothered to tell them that the blacking out only works if they do it to all the pictures where numbers are visible.

Also, the zero feedback seller gets the case diameter and thickness wrong, for whatever that's worth.

is clearly fraudulent, the fraudster is from MI again, we had several of those during the
last weeks, 0 feedback, seller name tries to sound "professional", "offering paypal "
for amounts above 10k, but realistic amounts through paymate or Skrill.

"Paypal is our preferred method of payment for Auctions at sales over 10,000 USD, Propay , Paymate, Moneybookers , other secure Payment methods. Please contact for other internet merchant services."

Mods, could we please move this to the appropriate section ?
