Kelly Fox Ryan Ticket scam using Craigslist and 'MoneyPak' Internet
Report Attachments
The perpetrator filed this ad on Craigslist, advertising an available ticket for the Blackhawks-Flyers Game 5 in Chicago.
http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tix/1778052697.html
After responding from the email address '[email protected]', the perp requested a phone call to 815-549-1809 to negotiate price, meeting point, and method of payment. The perp, who said his name was 'Ryan' and was driving up from Champaign, IL insisted on using 'MoneyPak' because they didn't have a Paypal account. 'Ryan' would accept a downpayment on the ticket through MoneyPak, and then the rest in cash at the stadium. The agreed upon price was $180, with $50 payable via 'MoneyPak' and the rest payable in cash at the United Center, with the agreed upon meeting place being the Billy Goat Tavern. Payment via 'MoneyPak' requires the purchase of the card for a set amount ($50 in this case), then using the scratch-off number on the back of the card to transfer the money to the recipient. The number on the back of the card is 7162-4623-0518-46.
'Ryan' failed to show up for the transaction, did not answer the phone, and did not respond to text messages. The user finally responded after midnight that evening, saying that they didn't make it to the game and would refund the $50. Since then, there has been no response to phone calls, emails, or text messages. An initial search on the phone number came up empty, indicating it was likely a temporary phone purchased at a gas station or similar. 'MoneyPak' customer service will not issue details of the account the money was transferred to unless subpoenaed by law enforcement, and will not refund the money.

The perpetrator filed this ad on Craigslist, advertising an available
ticket for the Blackhawks-Flyers Game 5 in Chicago.
http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tix/1778052697.html
After responding
from the email address (((Redacted))), the perp requested
a phone call to (((Redacted))) to negotiate price, meeting point, and
method of payment.
The perp, who said his name was 'Ryan' and was
driving up from Champaign, IL insisted on using 'MoneyPak' because they
didn't have a Paypal account. 'Ryan' would accept a downpayment on the
ticket through MoneyPak, and then the rest in cash at the stadium. The
agreed upon price was $180, with $50 payable via 'MoneyPak' and the rest
payable in cash at the United Center, with the agreed upon meeting
place being the Billy Goat Tavern.
Payment via 'MoneyPak' requires the
purchase of the card for a set amount ($50 in this case), then using the
scratch-off number on the back of the card to transfer the money to the
recipient. The number on the back of the card is (((Redacted))).
'Ryan' failed to show up for the transaction, did not answer the
phone, and did not respond to text messages. The user finally responded
after midnight that evening, saying that they didn't make it to the
game and would refund the $50.
Since then, there has been no response
to phone calls, emails, or text messages. An initial search on the
phone number came up empty, indicating it was likely a temporary phone
purchased at a gas station or similar. The number is now subsequently no longer in service. 'MoneyPak' customer service will
not issue details of the account the money was transferred to unless
subpoenaed by law enforcement, and will not refund the money.
