Watchmaker's bench forum still alive?

Is this sub forum still active? I've not seen posts from Mehdi for some time, but maybe I've missed

something.

actually,he's hiding. i came on this forum as a last resort. the police ended up contacting mehdi. he's

taking watches (including mines) and wont give them back! he makes excuses and waits till 90 days runs

out. in the fine print of his contracts, it states that after 90 days the watches become his. dont get me

wrong, i think he has sent some ppl their watches back as he's been on this forum for a long time. but he

tried to get me to buy mines back! there was even a facebook page warning ppl about him. it turned into

a big fuss and that page was shut down and mehdi left the fb world. i emailed him (i have the proof of

the ones i sent and the ones he sent back) and he swore up and down that his aunt was having surgery. 6

months later, he said h's other aunt died and would mail out my watches that week! 3 weeks later and

nothing. i told him that i took pictures of his website where it stated that it would take 3-5 weeks for the

turnaround time. and i would go public with what he;s doing. after that, he changed his number, closed

all his email accounts and shut down his website.

maybe he is having personal issues, but he should take on watches if he doesn't have the time to fix

them!

there is someone that i know who had this problem also. last week the police finally tracked mehdi

down. we got word that mehdi said he would send all the watches back but i have yet to hear from him. i

plan on suing since i know his first and last name with his address since i had to mail my watches out. i'm

waiting till the end of april. the funny thing is, mehdi would rant and rave about some of the poor

reviews he would get and his friends would back him up...can you believe that he did this to some of

those friends? me included?

This is so disappointing! Who can you trust? There actually are some people here that I trust very much

because I have done business with them and they proved to be very trustworthy.

Very good point, TRUST IS EARNED! I taught my kids that and now they teach theirs...

if you gave someone thousands of dollars worth of watches and he just dissapears, i'm sure you would be

just as mad.

trust is earned, If I deal with someone I do it at my own risk, I see the word watches (plural) if ANYONE

does work for me its a 1 at a time deal. I am sorry for those that got scr**ed over, no one deserves that.

Watch Buster you didn't pull any punches I'll tell u that. I remember months ago they were looking for

him and they said that he had some family problems as I was writing basically where thiers smoke thiers

fire, and didn't know about the other thread at the time I was writing mine. Then after I posted mine I

read the one that was being posted as I was writing mine and felt bad and apologized and caught a bunch

of flack for it but I guess I wasn't too far off, if this is true.

This sounds like a way to put an end to this or let everyone know the truth and put this to rest, cause it

sucks. I have never talked to or met anyone from WG that wasn't anything but a good person and this

would be a big shame, but I think we have the right to know the truth no matter what it is. Hopefully it is

family problems not concerning any deaths or anything like that, just a mistake.

I do know that some of the "hater sites" got him in their sites and started attacking him months ago. I

also know several members here that sent him very expensive watches to be fixed, he did the work and

they were all happy with the end results.

As George already said, if anyone has proof of wrong doing on his part, please send it directly to me.
