I just got scammed by the Miami guy and I feel like an idiot now for not reading this thread first. He was trying to sell me 50 yrd line Arkansas tickets for $100 a piece and he wanted to make sure that I was going to resell them. He went by the name "Jay Miller" and his email address is jayrobbie43@yahoo.com. He said his address was "14 Ocean Terrace, Miami, FL 33184". He had the same M.O. as before...not a ticket broker, just got transferred to Miami, tickets were his dad's who just died of brain cancer last year, works as an architect for Marriott, went to Northwestern, his wife is about to deliver fraternal twins, and he also made me stay on the phone with him throughout the whole thing... he said I was his "source of communication." He knows everything about the Western Union send form and will make sure that you have a test question and answer as well as making sure that you write "no ID required". Please no harsh comments. I realize that I'm an idiot for this but the guy seemed legit if you hadn't read this thread first.

if everyone on tigerdroppings would email him and ask for a photo of the tickets, we could overload his email box and he would be out of business for a couple days

Condolences... He had me going too. My gut saved me. He wanted to sell tix to LSU vs washington. When called with a blocked number that did me in.
FWIW the a-hole has a decent NO accent which adds to his credibility.

There's not much you can do but fill out some form that I think is linked to this thread and to learn the lesson that there are scummy people in this world trying to make a quick buck.

Guys do be careful as I was asking for tickets a couple of days ago and there is a cockbite trolling this board running a scam. Thankfully I had more than enough intellect to look for signs of fraud after he made contact with me and started his pitch bull shite.

Thanks for your reply concerning my inquiry. I am quite comfortable with the condition of the item, I will add $40 to the purchase price for you to hold it for me. Please provide your full name, Address No P.O Box Address Please and your Phone number so that I can send your payment.
I will be paying you by Money Order/Check. It will take 2-3 days for the payment to get to you and as for delivery I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received payment. If this meets your approval, kindly get back to me as soon as possible with your name, phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent, so that I can have my assistant get the payment ready.
Note:
As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off from craigslist today.
Best Regards.
Rich.

I spoke to this SOB too! He was telling me this bullshitee about his dad dying and he wanted to "only get his money back" since he has gotten tickets from LSU for 40 years. If his email is Andy Meyer beware HE SCAMS YOU! Who wants to try to stop him and report him and stuff? Ill do all I can. My uncle is a FBI agent don't you think he can help?

He's not selling fake tickets, he's selling no tickets; just says he has them.

Just fyi there is a scam on Cotton Bowl tickets from a guy who is claiming to live in Palm Coast Florida. His email is listed below. He is going by James Cooper.
Hello
Hope your enjoying the New Year!!
We live in Palm Coast, FL and are looking to sell these. Not being
local makes it a pain in the rear, so I thought not try craigslist. Anyway
we can't make it due to work commitments that conflict now so I am looking to
sell these rather quickly. I'm asking what I paid, no more, no less. I got
these through work so not a bad deal.
If you would like to buy these I would like to use western union, its fast,
easy, and secure as long as we exchange enough info so we know who each other
are, and you send to me here in the US, not some foreign country, and I do
insist on talking on the phone as well. Obviously you would get all my info,
and vice-a-versa. I'm just a fan trying to do this quick and easy, nothing
more. I can have these available for will call pickup so you can pickup prior
to the game, or I can send via FedEx too...
Anyway, if your interested let me know and shoot me your cell # and Ill call
to touch base and go over any details or questions. You can of course email me
any questions you have as well.
Look forward to talking
James
