So I'm online hunting for the elusive ticket here in my town New Orleans, the home opener in the Super Dome and i come across two tickets on CL in Section 114 lower level, on the 50 yard line for $220 each. I'm skeptical because I know they're going for considerably more than that, but I figure I'll email anyhow, here's the CL ad followed by the email exchange which took place afterwards:

4 TICKETS!!!! To:NEW ORLEANS SAINTS vs MINNESOTA VIKINGS Tickets 1ST ROW! 50 Yard Line!

Now available are 2 outstanding Lower Level tickets

How about $190 each, Cash? I live Uptown. Are they card stock season tickets??? Are you or anyone you know sitting next to them?

Thanks,

Dear Jason,

OK, We have a deal for 2 * US $ 190.00+US $ 35.00 (shipping taxes)=US $ 415.00. (-15% disccount)=US $ 352.75

Right now I am on a business trip in San Diego, California but this is not a problem because I have the tickets with me.I can send them via FedEx.If I send it by 12:00PM it will reach the address in 48 hours.Let me know your delivery preference and your address.
I've informed craigslist about this and they've told me that they will verify the information I've gave them to see if everything corresponds to craigslist privacy policy.Then they will send you an confirmation to you.
Also I have one request : I will ship the tickets as a gift for speedy shipping and to avoid additional taxes, when you make the payment , tell them the same ...that these money are a gift for a friend , OK?


Thanks

P.S.Please e-mail me your shipping address:

Hi,

These are the terms of deal that Craigslist accepts for this transaction:

*you will send the money through Western Union money transfer;
*you will mail the payment details to craigslist ([email protected])
*Craigslist will confirm me that you have made the payment;
*The tickets will be posted in the following 48 hours to the provided address.
*as soon as you receive the tickets,you will confirm Craigslist and they will give me the payment details so I can take the money;


Payment must be sent with Western Union Wire Transfer to:

First name:Rojon
Last name:Lowell
Address:12502 Paseo Lucido 158
City:San Diego,
State:CA (California)
Zip:92128
Country:USA


When you wire the funds you just tell them that you want to transfer money to this name and address.

Also I have one request : I will ship the tickets as a gift for speedy shipping and to avoid additional taxes, when you make the payment , tell them the same ...that these money are a gift for a friend , OK?

Thanks

Hi,

This is all you need to do:
1)Visit your nearest Western Union Agent location.(http://www.westernunion.com/info/agentLocatorLookup.asp)
2)Provide payment to the clerk in cash - including the amount to be sent and appropriate fee
3)Get the receipt that includes your Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)
4)E_mail me western union's details to craigslist ([email protected]) to verify the payment

Also is my request OK with you?"I will ship the tickets as a gift for speedy shipping and to avoid additional taxes, when you make the payment , tell them the same ...that these money are a gift for a friend".



Thanks

Sorry bro,

This has scam written all over it. You will get what's coming to you sooner or later. You will burn in eternal hell for your sins. There is no craigslist verification center. Craigslist is a bulletin board service which assumes no liability for any business transacted through it's site. The only way I would but these tickets now is for you to ship the tickets to me, I go to the game, and then pay you the next day. You have my word on it.


Peace out,

Jason

A scammer, 100%, no question. Hopefully, nobody else falls for this!
Thanks for the heads-up.

Good work making him show his stripes (Western Union as a Gift. Oh yea, that's legit). And good work wasting some of his time - the more of a scammer's time you waste, the less he makes overall.

Next time, tell him you sent the money, you have no idea why Western Union wouldn't have it...
 
Give him a bogus wire transfer number, swear it's a done deal, etc. Have him go argue with the WU manager about a half dozen times. In the meantime, notify the local police that a scammer will be coming in...
 
Nice one, I usually just ignore it after "western union". :p

Western Union raised a red flag, an @email.com address was the clincher. Far as I can tell it's just an ad portal with no real addresses behind it. Or it's an ad portal hiding scammers behind it, though it looks like that's just a random address w/ craigslist in it that'll never need to be read.
