In todays world of scams you have to be more vigilant than ever! But sometimes things slip through the cracks no matter how careful you are. Earlier today I was scammed by someone that posted a Craig's List ad selling Dave Matthew's Band tickets. Their concert is tonight at SPAC (7:30PM), the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY. The tickets were for Section 1 Row J. Right behind the pit! AMAZING SEATS!!! I was one of the first people to view the ad after it was posted and I called right away to grab two of the tickets. It took a turn for the worst shortly after. The scammer called himself "Rich" and "Rich" was selling four tickets. One of the phone numbers he used was 313-878-7078. Listen to my podcast to hear the entire story in high detail. Everything unfolded earlier this afternoon. I want to help others avoid the same mistake I made, let's create scam awareness together. Sit back, relax, listen and enjoy!
Oh by the way, for search engine purposes here is "Rich's" other telephone number involved in his Craig's List scam =), 770-906-2414.
Update 12/12/21, I received a copy of the dispute and the scammers name is Deion Williams, his email is dw82ndairborne@gmail.com BUYER BE WARE!!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM!!! I have listeners ALL over the country contact me every week about this guy and how he scammed them out of money!
