He tried to scam me on my recently posted PAM122E. He first asked me for my address and phone no. for his record which I provided and then later asked me for the bankwire details and full name/address/phone no. for his record again. I searched over the net and found the following posts for the same guy.

Below is the shipping address and phone no. provided by him:

DAVIES RUSSEL (daviesr3@lycos.com)
# 2, Jalan Tembaga SD 5/2
Kawasan Industri Sri Damansara,
52200 Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia
Tel: +60166876521

Does anyone know if there will be any possible damage by giving out my address and phone no.?

He did the same with me a few months ago. There are way too many scammer on this forum lately.

He also asked for my wire instructions and confirmed that he'll take my watch. I figured he was a scammer after a few days.

This is a copy of the email he sent me:

7-17-09

I will take this piece for the 4950USD, I am located in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and I will need to know how you would like to be paid for this purchase.
Do send me your full details, such as your full name, address and contact number for the records. I look forward to your response.

Sylvian/George, can you list down in this post the references names/email that Davies provided to you ?

I checked the forum and spoke to a few people and found out that he's tried this with others. After that, I just let it go. If I'm the seller, the ref's are not that important to me. The only way I will every release my watch is after the wire transfer is complete.

But he as the buyer didn't ask me for any reference too which is the suspicious part.

I agree, way to many scammers on here, sign of the times I guess.

Can you please explain what he can do with this information? I am not familiar with this type of scam? Is it better to accept paypal than a bank wire?

Thanks

I've experience that same with a buyer from Malaysia, I think he has many names, so be aware of any buyers from Malaysia (sorry to say that way but there're really too many scammers). You can easily spot their fakeness, in the mail text they are not really interest or ask any more details about the watch which sounds so weird for a normal buyers.

like this...

It's great to know that the watch is still available. I'm interested to purchase the Rolex,
I'm located in Malaysia, Advance payment will be made for the watch into your account
by bank transfer and do let me know the cost of shipping by Fedex, UPS
so that I can able to visit my bank for the payment.

Be careful when you provide a buyer with your bank wire information. Once the scammer has your account information (along with your name & address) you just enabled the scammer to transfer funds out of your account to whoever they want.
