Back door selling

I will admit I am confused by the OP post as it appears to me when he responds to the OP of a sales thread he claims he get the below message from the seller which does not make sense to me:




Could it be that he posted to the sales thread saying he was interested in purchasing the watch and the scammer than sent him the below response which was not from the OP seller in the sales thread and from the scammer which would make more sense. If this is correct, this would imply that the scammer has set up an RG ID in which he brows through RG sales threads looking for a relative newbie RG member who has posted to a sales thread saying he is interested in the watch for sale and the scammer than contacts the newbie RG member asking him to contact him via the scammer email address in the PM he sent to the person who tried contacting the OP of the sales thread.
