Absolutely no doubt about It, this site is 100% FAKE!

For those of you who haven't been following the misadventures of the members who recently fell victim to the scam watch site Libellcca.com, please be aware those same bastards (the scammers, not our members ;- ) have recently opened a second scam site called Colnon.com.

Only the name is different, the scam is exactly the same--don't fall for it!

You can read and follow the complete thread at the link at the bottom of this page But basically, here's what happened: A member spotted a site offering several watches he was interested in at too-good-to-be-true prices. Now, for most of you (I hope), this would have been the end of the story--nobody sells $500 Steinhart watches for $80, or $300 Geckotas for $60, right? Of course they don't! I mean, you'd have to be really dumb to sell good watches at those prices, right? Sad to say, however, our members decided to proceed anyway, on the off chance they'd discovered the one site on the internet where the sellers were exactly that dumb! Several orders were placed. It didn't go well. After weeks of delays and emails back and forth between the seller and purchaser, at least one tracking number was finally issued. After still more waiting and delays, a watch was eventually received. But it wasn't the watch ordered--it wasn't even close. Instead the scammers shipped a cheap, no-name watch anyone could buy for a few bucks on Alibaba. When the scammers were notified of the problem, they claimed it was merely a mistake and offered a solution: ship the watch back at the buyers expense, and wait for the correct watch (a Geckota in this instance) to be shipped later (after the returned watch was received). Obviously that scenario could be repeated indefinitely and our poor member(s) could easily end up shelling out more in shipping costs than the original purchase price of the watch, right up to the point where the buyer just says: "fuck it" and gives up! And that's the scam in a nutshell: take their money and then wear the buyer out playing rope-a-dope with bullshit excuses and promises until he eventually realizes he's never going to get the watch he ordered (or a refund) and just stops trying to recoup the loss. Fortunately for our member(s), at least one of the purchases was made via PayPal and they did begin an investigation of Libellcca.com. It looks like PayPal may refund the purchase, but they haven't gotten there just yet. No doubt the negative attention from our forum/discussion, and a clear notice on Geckota's FaceBook page about the scam (and the investigation from PayPal), all contributed to the scammers decision to establish their new site: Colnon.com--and that's the real problem. It's very likely they've been doing this for a while and will continue to do so in the future. Each time one site get's hot, the scammers simply open up another. MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't be a chump! Much thanks to @Antonalbert for being the first to point out the second site! Link to the full thread and discussions: https://drop.com/buy/orient-open-heart-automatic-watches/talk/2719439

Thank goodness for PAYPAl. They refunded my money after showing Colnon web site to them and I got refunded and the watch free, which is keeping perfect time, so far..I spotted the watch on the internet and it was selling for $6.95. Nice profit of $70.00 dollars. I will always do my research next time!

I got too excited and ordered one on the hope that it was a scratch and dent type thing... I fooled myself into being fooled. Man I'm good. So here is my Ocean 1 premium Limited...

Paypal is giving WAY TOO much benefit of the doubt to Colnon... we'll see if Paypal makes it right. I wanna see these sites burn to the ground... and I wanna see myself not get suckered again... ugh.

jb4lloyd Does seem different than my Ocean One. Good luck with PayPal; guessing you’ll make out okay.
