watches39.com - watch49.com Bait and Switch: Buy a $162 watch & be sent a completely different $68 watch Internet
Report Attachments
I ordered a watch from watches39.com for $182 and received a completely different watch that they advertise for $68. I attempted to contact them using the contact information in my email receipt and received no reply despite 3 attempts over a period of 2 weeks. Finally, I found a working email address on the website and sent them the exact information including a picture of the watch I ordered with its price tag and a picture of the completely different watch I received with its much lower price tag. This was their response:
So, this website appears to be a classic Bait-and-Switch SCAM.
Beware of watches39.com and also of watch49.com which is the same website. Both are in China.
"The pictures are displayed online only after adjustment and perferction by our photographers. Therefore, the watch you received may turn out to exist subtle differences with the picture, but please subject to the actual item your received. Besides, the watches you purchased is after all a replica, existing reasonable discrepancy. The photos online are for reference only."
So, this website appears to be a classic Bait-and-Switch SCAM.
Beware of watches39.com and also of watch49.com which is the same website. Both are in China.

1) The website contact listed was a gmail account. Red flag.
2) The domain is registered in China with an AOL contact email. Red flag.
3) They use a RapidSSL for their secure site setup. RapidSSL does NOT verify the buisiness entity like Verisign does. Red flag.
A sucker deal any way you look at it.
