I certainly understnad why people are so annoyed at losing their money, however you do have to appreciate something, when you are dealing in reps, you always run the risk!
It does annoy me at times at how awkward some rep buyers are!!! They buy a rep, or look a picture of someone else's rep, and pull it a part, trying to find every minute flaw! I have had many reps over the years, and most people on the street caouldn't tell whether its genuine or fake, and these are watches that cost $200.00. The other thing is if you are buying counterfiet goods, you know you run the risk of losing your money, or you item.
Finally, I'll tell you what happened to someone I knew who was dealing, they got a call one morning from the Police, got all the computer equipment taken, paperwork, etc, and basically lost their business overnight. People thought they had been ripped off, but they hadn't. The dealer had no access to his computer has the Police kept it for nearly 6 months, retrieving all deleted e-mails, and dealings. When he did contact people, they thought, just like many here with WM9, that he'd ripped them off and was using this as an excuse, but it was a genuine situation.
