I sold my season tickets before... just send them UPS Collect - Cash Only.
The UPS will sometimes allow the recipient to look and even open the envelope.

4 season tickets in sec 302 row 6 seats 1 2 3 and 4. I need to sell them asap. No spam or scams no time for them. $3200 or best offer no low blows please. Plus will throw in 2 tickets vs ducks in Cowboys stadium sec 124 row 7. So 4 tix to all 6 home games plus 2 tix to Oregon game in Arlington. Interested buyers send emails no money orders or check. Cash or paypal only can meet up if needed. Spammers and scammers will be flagged
THIS GUY EVEN USES PAYPAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never just send money to an email either. Make them send you a request with info or an invoice. It gives you more to prove why you sent the person money. They also have to tell paypal when they have completed the transaction. So you get to see this and comment on it to Payapl.
Also never do the gift option.

Anyone ever heard of this?? Sounds very fishy!
You will have to take cash to a CVS, Rite Aid, 7 Eleven, Kroger, Walmart Sunoco or Radioshack if any of them are still open and get a Greendot Moneypak make sure what you get has Greendot Moneypak printed right on the front if it dont its not the right thing and make sure you do not get the new reloadable visa or mastercard as they will not work and are not needed once you have that you just email me the moneypak number from the moneypak, or i can give you the information and my account number for you to load it yourself ill also need your name address
That's the email i got

I wouldn't do it. If they don't have Paypal, I don't send them money.
I hate that Paypal takes 5%, but tis better than a scammer taking 100%

Use stub hub
Bump.
Ten pages of a thread about people getting scammed, when going through a reputable website like StubHub prevents all of this shite. So why don't people do it? Too cheap? Want to bargain with the seller? Don't want to pay StubHub's fee? Who knows.

why don't you just use stubhub, case solved. I don't understand all of this whining, people get taken on Craigslist all the time. Stubhub has a system to prevent all this crap.

Ha! I responded to a Craigslist ad.
Shanna.Hawkins@att.net
This poor girl is taking care of a sick father AND recovering from some kind of mouth surgery: "I was operated on maxillary, now I have a braces in mouth and only if I can breathe a few words. doctors told me that 15-20 days after surgery like this will be the situation. it is a very difficult situation so let me know your questions and i will do my best to respond asap thanx"
And she "has" 5 LSU Bama tickets for $1000.00 in section N6 Row 24 and they are aisle seats (yeah right) and they will be billed to me by Orange Courier and delivered by same with a tracking number. (again, yeah right)
Who do I report this scam to? I don't want to read 10 pages of speak.

Run far away from Shanna Hawkins...this is a scam. She tried to get me for a non-LSU game earlier in the year. You can't report it to anyone...the local authorities will not do anything about it, either will LSP.

the funny thing about her is that she is using an att email address. you'd think any police agency would shut her down.
Not like she's using yahoo or google mail.
