watchbrokers.com A scam - doesn't pay you for your item they sold Atlanta, Georgia
I sent a watch to this company to sell. According to them it was sold about a month ago and I will get payment soon. The payment has not been received and each time I actually talk to them I am told they will get right on it and email me a tracking number to track the check being sent. I have no emails with any tracking information nor do I have a payment. They won't reply to an email and don't reply to phone messages. I have reached them several times and am told they will get right on it with no response after. They don't email what/when they say they will and don't call when they say they will. It is over a month and I still have not recieved the money they owe me.

Dear Mr. Mike McGann:
Please be advised that my firm has been retained by Watchbrokers to investigate and to take the necessary legal action for unwarranted and defamatory attacks against Watchbrokers by you, user name, MMcGann.
Watchbrokers has been in business for years and has been very successful in buying and selling watches to its customers throughout the world and satisfying their customers needs. Watchbrokers.com has established a well founded reputation for the quality of its services and customer satisfaction. All customers who sold watches to watchbrokers.com did get paid in full. Watchbrokers never, nor intended to deceive, withhold or steal from its customers whatsoever.
You specifically referenced to Watchbrokers in your post that Watchbrokers is a scam and doesnt pay are made with false accusations and without merit. In addition, they are misleading and defamation per se in that they depict my client as engaging in fraudulent activity that violates civil and criminal laws, thereby damaging my clients reputation and adversely affected its business.
My client has already compensated you in the amount of $576.00 via Bank of America bill pay check on March 17, 2011 pursuant to your signed Customer Service Agreement with Watchbrokers.
Pursuant Colorado state law, it is a Felony carrying up to 18 months in prison and a fine up to $100,000 for the first offense. In addition you likely have serious financial exposure to watcherbrokers.com for each and every one of the defamatory statements made by you.
Your attempts to spread libelous and defamatory material about my client have caused serious and irreparable injury to it, its reputation, and its business. My client will not stand by this and allow this misconduct to continue.
I hereby demand that you;
1. Immediately remove all defamatory and disparaging remarks made by you, and
2. Immediately cease and desist in posting any defamatory statements about my client,
Please note that this firm does not attempt to restrict legitimate free speech, and this firm believes that the internet is an important medium for dissemination of accurate and truthful information and for fair comment on issues of the interest. However, the activities on Rip Off Report have unlawfully encroached upon my clients rights.
The purpose of the rebuttal is to put you on notice that if in the event you refuse to comply with the demands set forth herein, I will have no choice to recommend my client pursue all causes of action, including filing a lawsuit to protect its interest, including seeking court costs and attorney fees incurred by my client as a result of your actions.
Please direct any and all communications regarding this matter to me. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
