Whats this? A personalised scam attempt?

Recommended Posts

I sit here, quite bemused at this email, just received..

 

 

Hello,

 

We have purchased many watches from you in the past and I wanted to see if you could acquire the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. If so, can you please provide the cost? We would like to move on this purchase ASAP.

 

Thank you!

 

Respectfully,

This has come in on one of my watch business email addresses, and the link even looks genuine.

The only bit which lacks credibility is that I know for certain I have never sold even 1 watch to him/them!

Obviously when I give him a price, he then just needs my bank details to send me the money.

 

Maybe I should quote him one at $100,000K :) ( And give him G's bank detail.)

I'd say legit, the guy is an ass and from reading up on the company it's the sort of letter they would write in an attempt to make you feel like you should go out of your way for them. read the employment reviews: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Charfen-Institute-Reviews-E414499.htm You have VOIP, find a phone number for the switch and ask to get put thru to the PA rather than trusting the supplied ones.

Sounds like he thinks he's running the likes of MS or Google but you need the right people in management to do that.

That whirring sound in the back ground is Ricardo Semler (google him, read his book) spinning in his grave.

Oke, he's very much alive but if he was dead he'd be spinning.

I suppose then the question then is..."Would I seriously want to sell him a watch?"

 

 

And the answer is simple. :finger:
