Hi guys, I thought you'd be amuse to know that I have a suspected scammer on my hands. Why do I suspect this guy is a scammer?
1) I'm selling my watches at $40 for both, this guy is offering me $120.
2) He insists on paying either paypal, or some form of money order. Highly suspicious
3) With a name like Mark Smith, you HAVE to be a scammer.
4) He called me "Kevin."
There you have it. So if you are still unconvinced. Here's my email dealings with this guy.
