Description

I saw a post on X (twitter) from @rudyabb8 saying they were desperately needing to sell their 4 tickets to the Dec 19 game between the Suns and Warriors in Phoenix and that they would sell them for less than they were worth. DM if interested. So I messaged them and asked how much they were asking. They said $100 a ticket and asked how many I wanted. I only needed 3. (Where the alleged seats were, the face value of tickets like that was generally like around $700). So we chimed $300 up their “cousin” including screenshot verification and waited for them to Ticketmaster transfer the tickets. The email never came. So then they said they were being charged $300 more in resale fees and wanted me to send them 300 more. Realizing I probably just got scammed, I told them I didn’t have any more to pay. They begged me to pay more, even saying they’d pay part of the 300 and I pay the rest, but they needed the money before they could transfer the tickets. I never received the tickets. I immediately called my bank to try and stop the payment and let them know what happened so hopefully they will be able to reverse the charge. I’ve stayed in contact with the scammer about tickets to other games, not letting them know I’m on to them and keeping tabs on them. On their profile, they posted a similar post needing to sell their Commanders-Eagles tickets, editing it periodically, then finally deleting the post and posting another one desperately trying to sell their Suns-Warriors tickets in Oakland. Privately I asked them if they had tickets to the Suns-Lakers game in a few days since they weren’t able to get me the tickets for the other game. They are trying to get me to give them more money to transfer tickets to that one to me. Like I said, I’m keeping track of them so if you need more info on them, let me know and I’ll do what I can to help.
