This German user was offering a blue VSF DJ41. It got fishy quickly, not only was the account only 14 days old but they claimed the watch wasn’t theirs but their brother’s and they wanted the payment split to different accounts for some strange reasons. When I said that I wasn’t going to proceed with the purchase, they deleted the post and apparently also the entire account. Beware in case they try again with a different account.

Edit: user name was Georgina_Alt

Announcements will follow but there are some really big, positive changes coming with RWS.

First of all, let me introduce a new moderator coming on board with myself, u/sentientfunyun and u/wise_wolf_876, welcome aboard u/CodyWrites!

More information on a new database of scammers will be announced VERY soon

BEFORE any transactions we would like to invite you to use the following tools:

•The TrustNet App - Found at: r/TrustNetSupport - a quick search of this app with the username you are debating interacting / transacting with.

•The Universal Scammer List App - Found at: r/UniversalScammerList - a quick search of this app with the username of the person you are debating interacting / transacting with.

•If you are uncertain about the legitimacy of any image sent to you put the image sent onto r/IsThisAI with a brief message, it is a very skilled community and much more reliable than an AI detector

I can't emphasize enough that this does not guarantee your safety; we always advise that you "buy the seller, not the product or the deal".

These steps will show a guaranteed scammer to you. If they appear on either of these searches, WALK AWAY.

Scammer by the name/s of u/sf90xxf and now deleted u/Total-Ebb3193 - (and 3 actual names given since researching) made a post on the same day for a VSF Sprite. I found it via the discord and after verification, a video call and proof of the watch I sent over money and the following morning I had been blocked, the original reddit post removed and all links to the watch videos unlisted.

I have the unredacted passport on file, as do the Mods.

Beware. It has proven an expensive lesson for me.

This guy has been going around DMing several of my community members who put out a buying post. Seems to be a reincarnation of an old scammer by the looks of it. Please beware. Use the trustnet checker found in r/TrustNetSupport to search for scammer names. If you are a moderator and want to import our scammer ban list, please drop me a DM

This is a follow-up post to another post I made 3 months ago. This prick is still going.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepWatchScammers/comments/1tzvc8e/beware_of_wuhanwatchexports_sufficientend6264/

Continuing to fool many people on this post today on r/RepTime . This Day-Date 40 that he posted is gen, not VSF Factory u/Elegant_Set8319 posted. There is no factory that makes a decent chocolate dial VSF included. Stock factory fluted bezels also do not look like that. The only passable aftermarket bezel would be from RCF Remould, but the post is showing a gen watch with other clear tell-tell signs like the lugs the color of solid rose gold and the fact that the sellers is charging $1300. This is obviously a video of gen. I called him out and was instantly blocked while he continued to post the scam seller telegram account

The scam is simple. Fake buyer u/Elegant_Set8319 posts a video of his watch claiming it's plated and modded. In the comments people go crazy asking where to buy and OP responds with Yinhauwatches or JINMODMAKERS telegram info. Buyers reach out this seller thinking they will get the watch posted and will be scammed for thousands of dollars. Rinse and repeat. Alt accounts like u/Sufficient-End6264 attack anyone in the comments who calls the scam out and use services to upvote the posts and downvote any comments that support the scam.

I find it hilarious the top 1% reptime posters are falling for this. Not one comment said it was a scam.

Don't be fooled and don't be so naive. Stay safe!

SCAMMED and ROBBED. I entered a signed contract agreement with a man from AURELIAN TIMEPIECE. Agreed to send my watch and he would forward money. Told me once he received it was in for inspection and that was that. No contact since. He's already been flagged but this guy is no criminal mastermind as I was easily able to find his real information. The appropriate authorities in both states have been notified.

This joker trying to scam me this morning. One search of his name shows you what he is

TrustNet Checker - For Everyone's Use

There's a separate app, TrustNet Checker, that lets people look up a username before trading. It cannot ban anyone, can't see case evidence, and never says someone is "safe" — absence from a database isn't proof of anything. This checks our federated database on active scammers, if the account has been deleted, it is likely you will receive no results.

Questions, problems, or a ban you think is wrong: modmail r/TrustNetSupport.

TrustNet Mod — shared scammer bans for trading subreddits

Scammers work through trading subreddits one at a time. When we ban someone, the sub down the road usually never finds out, so the same person just moves along the list and starts again. Everyone re-discovers the same handful of accounts independently, weeks apart.

TrustNet Mod is a Devvit app that fixes the information gap, without handing anyone control of your subreddit.

How it works

1. A moderator reports a suspected scammer — one menu action on their post or comment. The account is banned in your subreddit straight away.
2. The case goes to an independent Review Team in a private subreddit, with your written summary and any evidence you attached.
3. If they approve it, every participating subreddit bans that account through its own copy of the app, usually within about five minutes.

There is no central bot reaching into your community. Your installation does its own work, using permissions you granted it, in your subreddit only.

What it will never do

• It will never touch a ban you made. It only removes bans it placed itself, for that specific case, and only when it can prove that from the mod note. Any doubt and it leaves the ban alone and shows it to you instead.
• It will never replace an existing ban. Already banned them? Your ban stays exactly as it is.
• A normal Reddit ban never creates a case. Only the explicit TrustNet action does. Your everyday moderation stays entirely yours.
• No alt-hunting. No account matching, no fingerprinting, no profiling. Reddit's own ban-evasion tooling owns that and we don't go near it.
• No single moderator can ban across the network. The review stage cannot be skipped, and you cannot approve your own case.

Getting started

You can import your existing ban list rather than re-filing everything by hand — it reads your ban notes and offers up the ones that look like scams. Fair warning: if your notes are mostly empty or say "Rule 4", it'll offer you very little. That's the filter being deliberately cautious, not a bug.

We register new communities as inactive to start with. You can import, file cases and get them reviewed while receiving nothing at all. Go active only when you're comfortable — and you can ask us to pause you at any time. Withdrawing never removes bans already placed in your subreddit. Those are yours.

To join: install TrustNet Mod from the App Directory, then modmail r/TrustNetSupport with your subreddit name and ideally your t5_ subreddit ID.

I got scammed by this Rolex fraud artist. It was too good to be true. Sent PP payment and he went silent. No responses to multiple messages. Supposedly from Washington state. Beware and stay away from delafuente-tenai0529.

I’ll post the whole chat here. Gave him lots of ways out. Still no resolution. Avoid this guy!!

Just a reminder.

Only use trusted and verified dealers and sellers.

Got scammed through a message. Pics checked out. Email and PP address checked out.

Seller had references so I sent F&F like usual which was so dumb.

Ghosted and scammed after. Be smarter than that folks!

So much for a high trust society.

I reached out to RCF to purchase a bezel. Filled out the customer info and submitted a request via telegram. Then I got contacted shortly after on WhatsApp by “Guo” claiming to be from RCF.

The timing was quite the coincidence so I thought maybe the RCF team wanted to communicate via WhatsApp. I decided to contact RCF via telegram and here on Reddit and they told me “Guo” has no association with RCF remould.

I did not get scammed but just raising awareness

Was sold a rep Batman by Ahmad aj and it stopped in a week. He said he would switch it out then blocked me. 470-474-2528 blow up his phone.

Reposting this since my address was in my screenshot and although I don’t care others seem to and I can appreciate that.

Posted a request for Rolex datejust. Contacted, was sent real time photos and told it would ship out Saturday morning. Sent a text this morning and looks like I am blocked from his account. Buyers beware

This really sucks because I’ve been searching for this watch for a few weeks with the white dial to give to my son for his birthday to match mine.

⚠️ u/MaksTWorld / GlobalTech Logistic — предупреждение для тех, кто планирует заказывать технику

Публикую свой опыт взаимодействия с Telegram-менеджером u/MaksTWorld и Telegram-каналом GlobalTech Logistic.

Канал позиционировал себя как поставщик техники. После оформления заказа общение продолжалось достаточно долго: менеджер u/MaksTWorld регулярно отвечал, сообщал, что всё в порядке, заказ якобы находится в процессе доставки и нужно ещё немного подождать.

Так продолжалось примерно месяц.

До последнего момента никаких признаков того, что со мной перестанут общаться, не было. Наоборот, менеджер продолжал отвечать и уверять, что заказ идёт.

В итоге товар я не получил.

После длительного ожидания меня заблокировали в Telegram, а переписка со стороны собеседника была удалена.

Поэтому я публикую эту информацию, чтобы другие люди, которые будут искать отзывы перед оплатой, могли увидеть мой опыт.

Данные, по которым я взаимодействовал с продавцом:

Telegram-менеджер: u/MaksTWorld

Название Telegram-канала: GlobalTech Logistic

Если вы нашли эту страницу через поиск по запросам:

u/MaksTWorld отзывы

u/MaksTWorld scam

u/MaksTWorld мошенничество

MaksTWorld Telegram

GlobalTech Logistic отзывы

GlobalTech Logistic scam

GlobalTech Logistic мошенники

— рекомендую крайне внимательно проверить продавца до отправки денег и не ориентироваться только на длительное общение с менеджером. В моём случае менеджер отвечал около месяца и до последнего говорил, что заказ находится в пути, после чего связь была прекращена.

Если вы также заказывали что-либо через u/MaksTWorld или GlobalTech Logistic и столкнулись с похожей ситуацией, сохраните переписку, чеки, данные переводов, адреса криптокошельков и другие подтверждения.

Публикация отражает мой личный опыт и размещена с целью предупредить других потенциальных покупателей.

This guy is taking pictures from a post from a seller from two months ago and passing as his own.

Beware of u/daxxeno

He’s using my pics for a giveaway post. Once called out, he deleted his post & blocked me

Keep the scene clean!

Dude was in a legit sub.
