A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Re: FS: Omega Speedmaster Pro 861 (Priced to move)

Scammer for sure and I should've known better.

Paperwork is in the mail in order to file a civil suit against the seller or whomever Brenda Burns is and I doubt it is her but perhaps she doesn't know that this person is committing interstate wire and mail fraud.

I've submitted our email transcript and bank wire info to the FBI cyber crimes unit as well as the FTC.

Once Monday comes around I will be contacting the local police department as well as mine to see how else I can cause some trouble or at least get this on record. I know my money is gone and I feel like an idiot but I won't be fooled again.

Seller details in hopes that others will not be scammed by this person.

Bank: Wells Fargo
Account name: Brenda Y Burns
Bank Address: 2111 Village Lane, Calera, AL 35040
Account : 8474464479
Routing : 062000080

I'll be posting this on other forums he/she has posted on. I'm sure they will change their email and proceed with the same routine but the actual bank account holder's name should help.
