Thank goodness this site exists!
Almost spent $250 for 4 tickets to a sold out Sublime concert in Toronto August 20.
After responding to a listing on Toronto Craigslist on July 8, i got this email, which is identical to others reported here (pasted below). I asked for an alternative email address and he gave me
[email protected] and
[email protected]
I first cross referenced the mailing address he sent, and thanks to Google Street view it looked like a VERY sketchy industrial location. Cross references his name on Facebook and although TYLER LAWSON was common, there were none in saskatchewan. Strange if he's a big internet user and concert goer, no? No results. Googled his second email address and was directed to this site -- THANK GOODNESS!!!!
Now what???
here's the email he originally sent:

offer the following payment options to you for these tickets because I am not in
the city. Me and my wife are unable to make it due to work
schedules.

attached is the link...

go Directly into an outlet like a moneymart ect...
or

Post Offices or you can click on there site to find something close to
you.
These would be the best payment options that I can ask for, I cant
accept PayPal because its been an issue with my credit union for payments. my

I will be using FedEx overnight express to send you
the tickets, there is no extra charge for this I will also send you a valid
tracking confirmation once you have sent the payment to me, I guarantee you will
get these tickets within 24-48 hours of payment because I use the express
service for FedEx from my company account. I hate scalpers so this is why I have
made payment as stated above like this. I hope this is not an issue, If you need
any more info please contact me asap
Thanks
