Sometimes its legit if an invoice is sent. I usually send a paypal invoice. Then as soon as tickets are paypaled, I either forward the tickets or supply a tracking number within an hour.
I have a lot of faith in Paypal, and it's not always possible to meet people in person.

Oh yea its a scam alright. I dont buy any tickets unless i meet face to face.
I've never met face to face with anyone I've sold to on here. I've called people, and all. What I usually do is give them a lot of info on me to calm them. I only take paypal and then either forward the tickets via bar-code forwarding. or express the tickets. Never had a problem.
I'm not willing to give up my favorite website over a few bucks.

Anyone heard from this guy? Sounds like a scam to me....
Hi, my name is Armand Thibaud and I am from Langley, BC, Canada. I still have the 4 tickets for the BCS Championship game, LSU v Alabama, sec 141, row 13, $850 for the pair, $1700 for all 4.
I can send the tickets with overnight services today and you can receive them on Wednesday.
The tickets were bought by my company as a bonus we were going to give on a deal to a customer in the US. Unfortunately the deal did not go through and now we have them, but cannot use them.
My company will pay for the delivery of the tickets with the overnight delivery so you can receive them on Wednesday.
These are hard tickets and now we are looking to get back what was paid for them.
If you are still interested please back to me and let's work on the delivery and payment arrangements.
Best
Armand

tell him you are going to fly to Canada and pay him cash for the tickets. That should be the end of that.

We got the same email, have you found anything else about this? I'm guessing it's a scam.

You are guessing this is a scam? OMG Yes it is a scam. Come on people this is common sense you are talking about. Would you really consider buying from someone out of the country for something like this?

had a person email me selling an Alabama Student ticket, but didn't know section or row. have to wait until Gameday until they can physically pick up the ticket.
If he doesn't want to exchange cash for ticket on game day would any of you worry about dealing with it?

Yes, mentioned over and over again if you buy off the streets cash only exchanges hands when you are safely in the Dome at the gate!

What is this guy's screen name? If he did it once then he'll try again. The admins can look at IP addresses so if he comes back under a different screen name but posts from the same computer, they can catch him before he scams again.
I've heard it easy to get around using the same ip address. Don't know for sure though

Saw where one poster guesstimated a scammer's possible income at $30K. Consider that like most ticket "brokers", scammers are doing this for all college & professional games, concerts, etc, not just LSU games by any means. A good friend is a legitmate broker & he works his arse off & makes $50K+. So, using a mass mail scam, the money goes thru the roof.

Post dating a check won't do you any good. The banks don't care what date is on it. They don't hold checks waiting for that future date in your check to roll around.
