I posted an ad on Craig's list last week saying I was looking for tickets to ACL concert for October 10 which is a music festival in Austin, TX. Jesse Gasior aka "Derrick Cambria" as he told me, with the phone number 412-708-5196, called me back on September 11 saying he had a weekend pass he could sell me because his aunt In Galveston bought a ticket for him and he wasn't able to attend anymore. I told him I would find someone locally to buy tickets from but I couldn't find anyone and called him back this past Sunday September 14 asking if he sold his ticket yet which he said he hasen't.
We planned for me to go to walmart and send him a money gram which he went by the name of Derrick cambria for me to send through to Pittsburgh, PA, along with a security question because his ID (Derrick cambria) expired a month ago. The original deal was for me to send $250 to this guy when I first spoke to him. When I called him back on the Sunday, he said he didn't want me to pay over $200 since I already had to pay an extra $11.50 for the moneygram and that he "was just in a hurry to sell his ticket". He was on the phone with me the whole time saying he was sending the ticket at the exact same time I was sending him money because he supposedly had overnight shipping through his work. He said I would receive the tracking number in 25 minutes. I never got a tracking number and got very upset and frustrated assuming he did not send any ticket. He said it was most likely an issue with UPS having to categorize all of the mail but that my ticket would be at my apartment by Monday sept 15. It never came and I tried numerous times to contact him. He finally answered my call in the later evening of sept 15 saying "I'm just getting everything together I'll call you back", which he never did and is not returning my calls or text messages and I have not received any ticket.
I know I was scammed and am very upset about the outcome of this situation and knowing I just lost $211 to someone who doesn't even deserve this money.

Isn't that news report from 2012? I don't think it is recent although he should be going to court again that's for sure
