Diamond Watch Buyer Gets Ripped Off Big Time!

He thought he was getting the deal of a lifetime; a genuine Men's Champagne 3ct Channel Set Rolex Day Date Super Presidential Watch valued at 13k for a mere $863.00, plus shipping. When the watch arrived, it looked genuine but Mark had a suspicious feeling because the watch was super, super light, unlike a genuine Rolex watch. To be safe, he set up an appointment to have it appraised by a certified jewelry appraiser who is an authorized Rolex dealer. Turns out the watch he bought for $863.00 was a knockoff that was worth around $15.00.

Mark immediately contacted the company and demanded an authorization code to return the fake diamond watch, but the company informed him that his fifteen days to return the merchandise had expired and there was nothing they could do. This man had just spent $863.00 on a piece of costume jewelry that’s not even worth $20.00. This is happening more and more. Why? Because in our fast paced society, people are not performing simple searches on the companies before they hand over their hard earned money.
