cht Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Since a bunch of the ripoff sites use COD, Can't we just place orders, put in a bogus address, ask for the overnight express shipping, and then no picks these up or pays for them? Then they have to eat the cost of the shipping? It can't be that easy, what am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 It is that easy. Or just have them send it right to your house and then refuse to pay. A lot of hassle just for revenge, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
URkuk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why not put your efforts into something positive rather than allow yourself to be dragged down into the gutter of those whom you condemn? Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well RWG HQ's is looking a bit drab if you want to volunteer to slap on a new coat of paint. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's an interesting and tempting concept, however I don't want to encourage anyone to even visit those rep websites. Many of them have secret malicious coding that will install viruses/trojans/rootkits/remote keyloggers onto your computer at most compromising your secure information at least making your life very miserable...

jonthebhoy Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 .....besides you also run the risk of bringing heat here. Be aware that sites such as ours represent a threat to these more unscrupulous enterprises and it is not too much of a stretch to consider that they will be dropping in here from time to time to read what "we" are planning to do to them. As others have suggested your time and energy will be better served in a constructive manner especially if RWG is the benefactor. Just my tuppenceworth.

RLudlowe Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Another thought - One of the reasons the rep hobby is allowed to exist is the popular concept that all reps are crap and rep dealers are just scam artists looking to rip you off. So in many ways these scammers provide a valuable smoke screen for us, reinforcing the idea that there are no real reliable rep dealers and as such, no serious rep hobby. The scammers and crap dealers do us a valuable service, as only the lucky few know the quality sources and as such pose little threat to the big watch corps. If everyone knew, rep sales would skyrocket - Rolex, Omega, Hublot and the lot would be humiliated and would pressure China to shut down the rep factories. China's legit watch business is now well established, so killing off the reps wouldn't cost the Chinese much at all. So - rather than try to run them out of business, you might be wise to promote them, as the more people who get ripped off by them the safer we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
