@wimpie007

He was recently banned under another user name and is stealing money from good people.

Looks like another scammer who is a newbie.

How can a newbies get 103 posts in 3 weeks and start scamming people here?
Answer: thats with the help of such posts as "the never ending word associating game" - its easy to get 30-40 posts a day there.
Maybe we are all part of a team helping scammers to get the min req for posting fake sales within no time, giving all users the impression that everything should be fine.
Would it help, if sellers need to get a "ID number" from a mod which is only available with prior VIP membership with registered real life address, proofed by postal identification?
I know, I know... "Who shall perform this effort?". But I find it very strange that one can join the community, boost 100 posts in 3 weeks and start scamming colleagues here.
Whom shall I trust now in the sales section? I think, the post count is no longer a good index for this.

Buy the seller not the watch.

@mysterio
+1000 on this. Such threads should be banned same as what XXX are you wearing today. Never have and never will post to such threads. Sole purpose is post padding.

Removal of those threads won't eliminate scammers. The adage "Where there's a will, there's a way" applies. Actually, by eliminating these threads you're actually making it harder to detect people up to no good.
As for the earlier suggestion requiring an ID, we are not an authoritarian state. Plus the irony seems lost that in a forum based on a hobby where items are replicated to such a high degree that most people would not be able to tell, members cannot make that leap of faith that an ID can't be faked. If you don't believe an ID can be faked, I have a bridge to sell. 
You see a spammer, there is the report button. You come across a deal too good to be true, use some sense (which is unfortunately not common). Not saying everyone who just reached 100 posts and posts a sale is not to be trusted but do your due diligence.
The only solution to that is to close M2M. If you can't buy anything, you shouldn't be scammed (did not use can't as some people will go behind our backs, we don't have any solution for that). If you can't be bothered to practice some sense in M2M, then just buy from the TDs. All the groundwork necessary to vet the seller has been made.

How long is it as I've been caught out before. The last one I bought was too short.

That's all there is to it. The idea with the ID, while obviously with a noble goal in mind, is a pretty bad idea to be honest.
Also, spammers do not equal scammers. There's a lot of people who are in a rush to gain selling privileges in order to offload some watches but don't have any plans to scam. On the other hand, there were several high-profile scams on rep forums which were orchestrated by high-post-count, long-standing members. So, one does not equal other. To be fair, however, it's safe to say that someone who's well known and invested a lot of time into the forum is less likely to scam you than a newcomer who just finished his quick run to the hundred post mark. Key word: less likely.
Common sense and luck. Rest is just semantics

Right now I remember: I guess this is the same guy who answered my WTB thread appx 4-6 weeks ago. His name then was different, but he also introduced himself as from Sweden. Upon asking who he was, he told me that he normally was more active "on another forum" - this of course also makes you asume that everything is all right then.
To all members: please be careful. He will be back in a month, Im sure. Maybe not Sweden/Stockholm then.
