Fake Rolexes on Ebay? No Way!

Moore, OK - Seems the guy on the corner trying to sell his fake Rolex has migrated to the information superhighway. And what better corner of the Internet to pawn your fakery than Ebay.

According to court records, Moore resident Nhan Huynh Nguyen, 31, advertised an "authentic Rolex GMT Master II watch" on Ebay in May of last year.

The winning bid was $3,145 (including shipping).

When the winner received his new "Rolex" he felt something wasn't right. So, according to police, he took it to a master watchmaker.

The watchmaker confirmed the buyer's fears and the "Rolex" was declared a fake.

The buyer contacted Nguyen and demanded his money back.

And what was Nguyen's reply? According to the victim, Nguyen calmly stated that he had received the watch as a gift, has no idea if it is a real Rolex and only described it as authentic "because other people on Ebay do it."

Well, guess what? The felony criminal complaint and arrest warrant filed this week in Cleveland County is very authentic!
