Ash145 7 Posted June 28, 2023 So firstly, hi all….new to the replica world and my first taste before finding this fantastic forum, especially of the do’s and don’t would have saved me a few £££s!! Hont watch, seemed all above board, sent messages to see if they could help me…Catier Tank….leather strap…nothing too major for my first taste….got a swift response from the website and they could oblige……few emails later I’m transferring funds F&F via PayPal ……I was then sent tracking details so I assumed all was well…..then the penny dropped….how to they know my address!…the tracking number relating to a package and whatever it was made its way to Belgium …and I’m in the UK!…..I’ ve sent a dozen emails and what’s apps but no response whatsoever…website still looks active as I type!… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,873 Posted June 28, 2023 Not a TD HERE but that's not the url I've seen listed as the genuine Hont I'm afraid. Just be glad you learnt early and not taken a crazy hit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash145 7 Posted June 28, 2023 Should I add the link in the title if the genuine Hont watch are good guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popperini 17,841 Posted June 28, 2023 The genuine Hont watch are good guys… over on RWI. Where you’ll be advised, like you are here, to NEVER GOOGLE THE URL FOR A TD. Only use the URL you’ll find on a Trusted Dealer’s forum page, in the forum they’re trusted at. TD sites get cloned all the time, as you’ve now found to your cost. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will only get edited out by a Mod and you will be told off. You have been told and getting retold Hont is not a TD on here....... You are telling us all something we already know. If you want another watch use our site and section under Trusted Dealers's BUT more importantly read THE NEW USERS SECTION 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want another watch use our site and section under Trusted Dealers's BUT more importantly read THE NEW USERS SECTION I've edited the title to fairly reflect the situation. While Hont is not a TD here and we don't suggest ever buying from a non TD. I think it's fair to highlight the ongoing issue of fake sites. Whether you us RWG / RWI or even Reddit always double check the TD lists for official contact details. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horace Derwent 797 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) @Ash145 : yours was a bad experience, but lickily you learnt from it ! These Scam sites are easily recognizable, 2 massive Red Flags are: 1) the addres is Hont.watch but on the banner it says Hontwatch.co (which doesn't even exist !!!) 2) all these scam sites have these massive ''promotions' and iscounts, every day of every month Edited June 29, 2023 by Horace Derwent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
