Movementum Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I got taken in by perfect2clones.com which is NOT Josh's site! Looks like Josh's but the WU details and contact info is NOT Josh's. Sadly I lost $150 on a WU transfer. GLAD I didn't pay by credit card. Yikes, I'm a long time member of this site (posting on a new nick) and I got taken! Who would have guessed. I really should have spent more time on this forum in the last 6 months. Probably could have saved the $150. Ah well. It amounts to an average dinner with an average woman and an average wine. But man... I'm [censored] off at being suckered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 oh man!!! a cloned site! that sucks.Sorry for your loss! Next time I'd email them first before sending payment. Most dealers respond within a day. josh and andrew usually respond within an hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealers respond within a day. josh and andrew usually respond within an hour! Yeah I know. I usually deal with Josh... Because his site migrates on occasion, I thought that perfect2clones.com was his. It is an *exact* copy of his site. So foolishly I proceeded. Interestingly enough, whomever copied Josh's site did indeed send me *something*. I will be curious what it is. I am kind of hoping for a watch but would be happy with Olympic memorabilia or a fun toy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Man, that sucks. It's another example of why this site exists. Ripoffs and scammers stink. Spread the knowledge, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 There's a lot of pirating going on with Joshuas pics.. It was recently by a so called dealer on another florin that I will keep anonymous.. Reason new members should stay grounded here.. And I'd in doubt post a question we're here to support safety in this hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd in doubt post a question we're here to support safety in this hobby Was that the instance where it was possible to see how the watermarks had been removed from the photos and replaced by that dealer's own watermarks?

Noel Fleischer Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Actually Josh did just move, for those of you who don't know- here's the new address: WWW.1-pc8838.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I hate crap like this... They say replication is the highest form of flattery... in a hobby based on dishonesty and falsification... i'd say even that was pretty low.

Movementum Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well, I have been around this community for years and have ordered 12 times from Josh. The perfect2clones.com site was such an exact mirror of Josh's site (watermarks, and even the order process) that it fooled me! There is some profound irony in buying a replica watch off of a replica of a replica-watch-dealer's site. The good news is that this is the only time I have found myself a victim when it comes to this hobby. Still, I hope that the guy pretending to be one of our dealers gets laid next week by someone pretending to be a woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
