***PLEASE READ AND BE AWARE***
If i could leave Zero stars I really would, not sure really where to start with this.
Firstly i thought i was going to shop as shown on google, its not an issue but was an office so maybe quite intimidating for some people.
We agreed a deal on an Audemars Piguet Summer edition watch as i was coming from the UK,
I sent Igor clear pictures / videos of the watch front and back he then sent me $1000 deposit i booked my flights to NYC.
The following day after landing i headed to his office showed him the watch, he didn't even get a loupe out to check the watch.
Looked at the back of it and said its not the watch he wanted, he wanted BYBLOS version even though i sent him pictures of the watch prior to leaving the UK! ( not sure why someone would send a $1000, without checking pictures prior especially a watch trader who's buying on behalf of his client).
You can clearly see its not a Byblos version as it hasn't got the stamp at the back of the watch, and not only that there also approximately £20-£30k difference in price. ( please see attachment)
He then said as I have travelled from the UK he'll take the watch for stock but it needs to be cheaper, as its not the watch his client wanted.
I said no as we have agreed on a figure and that is what i wanted, i sent you pictures and videos over.
As you can imagine i was getting flustered and stressed on the whole situation after about an hour we agreed he'll have the watch still.
We agreed prior to me coming he would pay my crypto wallet the $1000 dollars, then the rest to my wallet upon arrival.
Another bombshell was dropped Igor then said he hasn't got the crypto, it would have to be paid via Bank transfer which wouldn't of been an issue if 1. I had of known 2. If he paid me in advance, as it can take 3-5 days to clear. 3. It would of cost me in fees changing currency back, which i didn't filter in for.
I later find out that he was trying to escrow a deal with a UK trader, behind my back and the UK trader then pays me after Igor happy with the watch. Again that would not of been an issue either if i was made aware. ( please see the attachment ).
So he was never planning on honouring his word and paying my wallet from the offset.
We finally agreed before me leaving his office he would sort the crypto within the week, as I had a family member out there still who could of done the deal on behalf of me.
I was flying back the next day and still didn't feel at ease, called him and wats app him never answered finally got back to me telling me to take back the watch. ( please see the attachment)
He even had the audacity to ask for his deposit back, which i gave him 80% back as that all i had left in cash on me.
The whole trip cost me a fortune but NYC was a pleasure to see visit and see, just wish it was under different circumstances.
This man / company will get there karma as clean hearts always win!
