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...]
I'm sad to report that there's yet another serious scammer among us. He goes by Richard Schwamb, at schwxmb@gmail.com, claiming to be in the UK. Sadly, there is an actual guy named Richard, who goes by schwxmb on other watch forums, who is being effected by this. As a reference, the scammer actually sent me positive feedback from a watch forum that was FOR the real Richard's account.
Things got really fishy when the guy insisted on wire transfer only and not PayPal, when the real Richard as schwxmb in other posts had insisted on PayPal. Anyway, I just texted the real Richard, who had posted his phone number on another (legit) sales post, to find that I'm the fourth person reporting this to him.
Be careful out there people! This scammer was really slick and knew what he was talking about, even telling me he was selling the watch to fund a very specific Royal Oak purchase and sending multiple legit photos of the supposed watch I was interested in.
