Was contacted via email by Kevin / Kelvin Chaisson to purchase a mkII speedmaster I had for sale. Via email he agreed to purchase the watch and either transfer funds or overnight a cashier's check. Already suspicious, I requested the bank check and informed him that I would not ship the watch unless I was able to cash the check at a branch of the bank from where the check was issued or until 4-5 business days after clearing my account.

Surprise, surprise, the check did not arrive, nor did I receive a response to an email requesting the tracking number of the overnight envelope with the check. 8 Days later I get an email from Kelvin or his assistant "Danny" letting me know the cashier'check was on the way and a FedEx tracking number. I politely informed them that the watch was sold and that I would rip up the check were it received.

Long story short, I received a suspicious looking bank check (paper stock was not like business checks, the blue fibers in the paperstock were actually printed rather than actual blue fibers in the paperstock and the watermark looked fishy) via FedEx and out of curiosity, called the issuing bank to determine if it was legitimate. It was not.

Be careful out there!

Also, the FedEx courier slip listed Paul Watkins as the sender...
