Beware of this scammer promoting workout plans and fitness goals. Promise online coaching, just to block after paying.

Got a rep from Acceptable-Royal-600 at the end of April, amazing transaction and fast. Got a NTTD Omega, when I received it, it was not the watch from the QC photos as the bracelet was broken and missing pieces and the watch face was scratched. I sent pictures to them was was told they’d just replace it. Well after weeks and constant messaging, I have not heard anything from them. Now if this was the same watch in the QC photos? I would have say no thank you as the watch was horrible quality and still is. Was told “put it in ice until I get a shipment in” and crickets. I haven’t worn it since and now have been blocked? I paid over 500 dollars? For something that doesn’t work? I need my money back or at least a message stating they haven’t received the replacement yet? But nothing. All month.

Yesterday I reported this seller. He reached out after 48 hours of silence and claimed he was temporarily banned. He promised to refund me even though he had said earlier that the watch had been sent. Then claims that he had issues with his bank so he never sent the watch. I gave him an opportunity to make this right and as a gesture of good will, took down my previous post, but at this point, there is nothing he can do to make this right as the window of opportunity has closed.

Classic scam - sells one thing, sends another. Purchased his lightly used VSF Daytona 116520 and what I received is an unknown factory version with unknown serial. I reached back out to him, hoping this may have been a mistake on his end or he didn’t know it wasn’t a VSF and hope he makes it right, but he deleted his account after I messaged.

He was trying to get rid of a couple watches, so he might pop up again.

Name: Maurice Zumwalt
Venmo: mzumwalt_
Address: 2332 Mueller Ln, Saint Louis MO

Be on the lookout! Clearly wasn’t smart enough to leave his address off the package he sent.

I purchased a watch from this user via Zelle for $350 after they provided multiple “references” and claimed to have prior sales history. Payment was sent to:

veronicacruz965@protonmail.com

Timeline:

Seller claimed the watch was shipped on May 13

I repeatedly requested tracking information, shipping receipt, or proof of shipment

Multiple follow-up messages over 48+ hours were ignored

No tracking number or proof has been provided whatsoever

The seller also strongly pushed for Zelle instead of protected payment methods.

I’m posting this so other buyers can proceed cautiously. If the seller resolves this and provides valid tracking/proof, I will update the post accordingly.

Screenshots available.

What is Honeypot USDT?

If you're not familiar with crypto, here's a simple breakdown:

USDT is a cryptocurrency worth $1 per coin, commonly used for peer-to-peer payments. A honeypot token is a fake version of USDT that someone creates themselves.

Think of it like this:

> Imagine someone pays you with a very convincing fake £50 note. It looks real, feels real, and even passes a quick glance but the moment you try to spend it at a shop, it gets rejected.

That's exactly what honeypot USDT is. It:

- ✅ Appears in your crypto wallet looking identical to real USDT

- ✅ Shows the correct balance

- ✅ Has a real blockchain transaction (looks 100% legit)

- ❌ Cannot ever be withdrawn, sold, or spent — it's completely worthless

---

Red flags observed in this case:

🚩 Payment was more than the agreed amount with no explanation

🚩 Buyer requested the fastest possible delivery

🚩 Pushed for crypto payment specifically

🚩 Shipping address outside the UK (Amsterdam)

The overpayment in particular is a known pressure tactic used to build trust and rush sellers into shipping before verifying funds.

---

Protect yourself when accepting crypto:

✅ Verify the contract address matches official USDT before accepting

✅ Always do a test withdrawal to an exchange before shipping

✅ Never ship until funds are confirmed withdrawable

✅ Be suspicious of any unprompted overpayment

✅ Never let a buyer rush you into shipping

---

We will update the community as the investigation develops. If you have had any dealings with this user please contact the mod team directly.

Stay safe everyone. 🙏

u/Special-Impact-6233 posted a brand new VSF Pepsi with gen crystal and asking for under $600. First clue should have been the price (too good to be true, etc). But it actually wasn’t. It was the pictures. They looked so familiar. Went to my comment history and found it. Whole post was stolen.

This persons profile is private so not sure where else they are posting but wanted to get it on everyone’s radar. They took down the post in question after I commented on it and called them out. But grabbed a couple screenshots before they did.

Here is the link to the original posting they stole from

Hopefully this post helps someone 🙏🏼

Be safe out there

Made a purchase. Then he shut his Reddit down for a week. Just went active again today. Beware! He will not ship whatever you “buy”.

Just saw this dude post an obviously photoshopped picture. I called it out in a comment and he immediately deleted the post…

Sold him a pepsi then he did a charge back on PayPal. I sold it using G&S so he took advantage of the situation. It's not a lot of money to me so I don't really care just warning others to not do business with him.

You guys may have been a VSF Rhodium YM on Reddit for a while, priced way below the ask…I recommend running

Man told me he tried to buy something in the UK, but UK uses pounds sterling.

100% scam, don’t lose money

Need some opinions on this situation because I genuinely don’t understand how I’m the scammer here

I was buying a watch from u/particular-shock-448 and told him I would send the USDC payment first, then send my shipping address a little later because my phone battery was dying so I sent the payment USDC on eth network and provided the proof of payment

After that, he suddenly called me a scammer, said the situation was “suspicious,” and threatened to report/ban me and he did, I never tried to reverse payment, never asked for anything weird, and the payment was literally already sent and he started calling me scammer while i was explaining

I understand being cautious with crypto deals, but accusing someone of scamming after they already paid makes no sense to me
He also deleted the address he sent me because he tought i was “phishing”

First time getting scammed. This sucks. Paid friends and family and then disappeared. Now profile is deleted. If anyone has any success getting money back in this situation please DM me

[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/s/kQLEUQptSW) is the actual picture he stole from. He even posted the wrong watch lol

I also got messaged by u/chikachika23 but I see he has been mentioned a lot.
