AKTime Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Quoted from RWI post. " [Alert] DenisSpa Scammer [Alert] It has come to the attention of the staff that a very active member Denis Spahic from Wilmington, NC has put together an elaborate plan to scam one of our popular TD's. His current username is DenisSpa, and please be advised to not buy or sell from this member. He bought thousands of dollars worth of reps and then put in a PP dispute to get his money back. The dealer had to oblige out of fear of getting his assets frozen by PayPal. He then sold one (thus far) of the charged back reps here in the M2M sales area. He also changed his registration email to a fake one and removed his M2M sales thread pictures within hours of chargebacking our dealer.Any information you have on Denis please contact staff immediately! Thanks, ATL" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKTime Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Further info here: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=170970&highlight=denisspa Apparently he went rogue and has blocked comms from members that he dealt with in the past. He has cut ties with all members through email comms, instagram, and other means of communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 And gone with the money no doubt. In this case a one off, known guy goes rogue no way to guard against this unfortunately. I gather the watches sold were sent to buyers? Will check. I have particulars from trailboss in regard as we keep in touch on such things in the interest of cross board security. PS checking on if members were screwed also........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKTime Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Update, DenisSpa posted in the thread I linked and has said that he cancelled the charge back to Ryan. He states that he was beaten and robbed and in the hospital. His Dad apparently cancelled his cards and contested some fraudulent charges. Sounds odd, but he has a long history at RWI and he says that he cancelled the dispute so I guess we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Perhaps people were too quick to jump to conclusions. I'm sure if he has a good standing and that happened it was just a misunderstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 This is both good and bad to hear, on another note watches that were sold are still in transit as far as is know at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is a wierd thing that happened. The guy has a great sales history there and very long detailed threads too. But since i saw what that some trusted people in this hobby sometimes turn into outrite blowjobbs (yes u Md.) nothing suprises me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well watch sold was delivered, at least one so far. There are close to 20 pages now on RWI in regard and I will not weigh in here nor there as this situation is very complicated and I have our own watches to worry about.

hambone Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wow... This certainly is a sordid tale. It is difficult to form a conclusive opinion as the facts presented seem rather inconclusive. If it is a scam then shame on the instigator. The victim here seems to be the dealer who has ample inventory, The downside is yet again PayPal is held accountable and tightens up on the entire watch market. Personally, I despise PayPal and would never consider using their services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've seen some fast C&Rs but putting them up for sale before they've been delivered? Also if he was trying to scam people why would he remove the pictures from the M2M sale thread after the chargeback? Any why just the pictures? Haven't got time to read the thread over on RWI but the info posted here makes no sense at all, sorry OP. I'll rely on our resident bouncer / all round superstar - MOAB!

Mike on a bike Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 fraggle the reason that what AKtime posted makes no sense is that if you read that thread it is much the same. Inexplicable actions, things done that beguile reason it makes the person in question look both guilty as hell and innocent as driven snow. I do not envie the admins over RWI trying to sort this out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I was rooting for denisSpa but now i see that has a chance to pay the TD his money back and hes not doing it. This is starting to smell bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
