yea maybe i am used to large amount money transfer so i didnt really feel suspicious about anything. Note to self now, a seller is only as legit as his last transaction.

500? why not double up? you help me dig the fella out, i send you his workplace address, at BM jalan Kulim, i will reward you accordingly

I know how that tag looks like. I meant, you mentioned it looks off. I meant, pictures of the fake watch.

naahhhhh, i am not a cop or PI.

JUzz give me the rm500 and forget all about it.....

You have his name and work address. Why not pay him a visit after MCO? For 2 grands it is worth making a trip up.

Alternatively if you don't want to make a trip up tell him you have his address and if he doesn't return your money you will get some toughies to pay him a visit. Hopefully you can scare him enough to return your money.

below market price ?

I agree, when it’s too good to be true it isn’t. Take it as an expensive lesson!

If there is something you want from a direct seller and you don't feel comfortable banking money into his account one way is to tell him to register online as a seller in Lazada or Shopee, post the product and send you the link. You get protection as the platform will only pay the seller after you receive the goods. If he refuses move on.

Hope you get your money back!

afaik Shopee charges 2% fee so unless u willing to bear the charges i doubt seller would.

If B2B (business to business) they probably will ignore u cause too much hassle. and many reasons more.

It's better to pay 2% more than to take a 50% risk of being scammed.

Yes true...but like i've said not many sellers will entertain u.

here you go, dude interchanged with panerai like leather strap, cuz fake bracelets scratch easily pay attention to the markers position at bezel, its good fakes.


toughies probably cost more money than the watch itself lol. Yea paying him a visit could work but he could be living in denial or simply ignoring me, so wouldnt make a trip up until i have something solid.

yea for preowned piece, its slightly cheaper than market rate. He priced the watch at a good price, giving a false representation that its legit preowned watch. New one need 6k ++

except that this isnt too good to be true man, its decent price, good deal, but not too good to be true.

the thing is this seller is actually fine with COD, he has nothing to hide. And he is certainly not a serial scammer. He sold over 50 stuff in past one year and even rolexes. My main takeaway from this lesson is a seller is only as legit as his last transaction. Now its tough time, he resorts to scamming cuz he needs to put food on table.

thanks doc

exactly mate, if I am seller I wouldnt put myself in such position too, giving IC deets and all, so much complications.

and if the buyers are nitpickers, they can easily open a dispute or scam you back by swapping your legit stuff with fake stuff and return you.

Nothing complicated about registering as a seller on an online platform. I've done it just to sell one item. Why shy away from giving IC details if you are a genuine trader? If you are willing to pay the platform commission and seller don't want to do it can he be trusted?

If the seller was fine with COD why didn't you pick COD? Some sellers say they are fine with COD just to give you confidence but will find some excuse to back out of doing COD later. Did you get caught like this?

Buying from direct seller by banking into his account first isn't worth the risk. I would say 50% chance of being scammed. Would you go out if you have a 50% chance of getting into an accident on that day?

Yeah. Saw the marking on the bezel.
Above is mine.

Hope you get back your money.

yea next time i will try to be as fussy as possible, or just simply refrain from any online deals.

nice one mate, the irony is this is not my first tag, i have owned 3 pieces, namely aquarcer grande daydate quartz, aqua auto cab 5, carrera cab 5, still I was being too careless on this formula quartz... sigh

Catch n whack, then ikat to tree. By the 6th hour, everything will come out, he will reformed into a proper soul. This was done before and it worked.
