Help! Have I been scammed??

I am a new member of RG. On Sunday, March 6th, I purchased a watch from a member named Korky. It was at his price. I asked him if he took pp...he replied yes and then told me to PM him. I did and he told me to send the pp payment to his wifes email address. I complied with the full amount in 20 minutes. He PM'd me back that night and said he would ship the watch the next day, Monday March 7th with the tracking number. I waited Monday...no tracking number...Tuesday, I PM'd him 3 times with no reply. Wednesday, I sent an email to his wifes email address where I had sent the payment, again requesting the tracking number...no reply at all. I then sent 3 more PM's but as of today, March 15th, I have heard nothing from him at all and of course, no watch. What can I do?
I check to see if he is online....he never seems to be. He has good feedback but I would like an answer. Suggestions? Thanks

I am sure Korky will get back to you. No worries, just some patience. Today he was on this forum.

If you see Kay

Korky??

I think you should be fine. He's alright. He's been around here long enough. I wouldn't worry about it. Give him some time.

Korky is absolutely A-OK.

You're going to hear from him soon, just hang in there.

I've known him years.

Not to worry, keep us posted. :)

No chance! He took the 1$hundo and after years here at RepGeek, ran away. (around the corner w the tank of gas it bought him)

I think Korky has frozen himself in a block of ice from the cold Manitoba weather they've been getting! He'll thaw out a respond to you in a couple of days!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously...he's a trusted member on RG, I'm sure there is a legit reason for not responding...

The word on the street is he is in Libia, trying to use his money to bribe Ghadaffi to leave.

All I wanted was is the tracking number. I live in a rural area and need to be here or it's 20+ miles to the Post Office.

Korky is a great guy...I've dealt with him a couple times. He always uses his wife's PP and company name - no worries :)

Wow! I have just noticed this thread! Jack my friend, i could not pm you because rg was down for a couple days. You emailed me and i replied to your email the first day i got it. I am sorry that you didn't recieve it. I would never think of scamming anyone! My eyes opened wide when i actually started to read this thread. I though you got my email, and you haven't pm'd me since i sent it back to you! Here is the email i sent to you(copied and paste)Hi Jack,

I shipped out the watch on Monday night. Sorry I didn’t get ahold of you by email. I have been trying repgeek to pm you but obviously it is down. The tracking number is
Cx 436 819 950 ca
Canada post will come to you by usps. They state probably 7-10 days.
Keep me informed and remember lets leave good feedback for each other if you are happy!
Thanx again

I had 2 people yesterday Email me and ask could their shipments be caught up in the Japan disaster as they were posted last Friday and on Monday they were only showing as leaving Thailand.
This is the honest truth not made up I promise you
Another one asked about his shipment to Sweden he said he thought it was caught up in Customs there as it hadn't moved.
When I checked on Monday it was shipped here on Friday it arrived in Sweden
2.30pm Sunday afternoon and this was Monday morning. I got an email later that it was ready for collection so it took 3.5 days to Sweden including a weekend but still he was panicking
