I think i got scammed by a TZ member named Matt Z

Recommended Posts

I made a purchase from him and sent the bank wire payment using his bank info on February 18th, 2011 and i have not seen the watch. He did not answer my call or reply to my email.

The mistake i made was that when he gave me a list of references i did not call to verify any of them and it turned out all those references are all fake because i got no reply from any of them when i email

them later on. He agree to ship watch using EMS overnight service with insurance but after i made the payment he sent me a priority mail tracking number and when i asked him why, he told me that it was.

He provided me with a priority service tracking number (eventhough he promised to ship EMS overnigh with insurance) but when tracking the pacakge got to a different post office location and went around

any came back to the original shipping location which is Mukwonago, Wisconsin. Can i get the money back through my bank or his bank using the info he gave me? What should i do?

Thanks for the heads up about the potential scam. Please keep us informed about the outcome.

Can I suggest you remove the names and email addresses of his references, as well as his personally identifying information? That is to be kept between you, he, and the admin at TZ.

man, I hope it gets resolved.

Only question i had was the same as Mrboombasteke. If you understood that he was shipping from the U.S. and you are also located in the U.S... how could EMS (an international postal service) be used?? That would've been my first sign of fishiness..

I really hope this guy gets what he deserves and you get your money back!

Sorry to hear your woes mate....

I wish you well in sorting this and I am sure the TZ mods will be able to advise you on the best course of action plus they will be able to provide more info on the guy....

Have you thought about contacting USPS making out they have sent YOUR package to wrong address even though it may not be your package and see if you can rattle their cage into giving you the senders info etc etc

Good Luck mate...Keep us updated !!!

There are at least 4 other people including myself that were all taken by this guy. Send me a message with your email and I'll put you on the email chain.

I paid via wire transfer also and he never even sent anything, after the funds cleared he stopped responding to emails and phone calls.

Is anyone aware of a course of action for getting back money that was wired?

TRF post indicates 5 total incidents at $1800 a pop. Guy is pretty ballsy, especially using wire transfers. The moron will get what he deserves, hitting that many people on the scam.

Best of luck to all involved. Given the resources available on watch forums, I wouldn't be surprised if they track him down by the end of the day Monday.

I can't get money back through my bank. They told me the other bank would not comply with the request. When I called the other bank to report they wound not take into consideration and they won't release any information. I think I out of $1800. There were 5 others inthe same boat.

I have his J.P Morgan bank account and i wish there is a way for me to obtain his real name and address that used for the bank account. One more victim came forward which bring the total to 7.

There was an address but not sure if it is real: Matt Zabrowski 1918 E. Lafayette Pl Milwaukee, WI 53202 414 614 4257.

Are there any members from Milwaukee, WI?
