I made a post on here looking to buy tickets for 3/22 LSU vs Florida baseball game. A text was sent to me from phone # 337-259-6497 selling tickets. I purchased them using Venmo (sent money to Venmo name Jamie Oviatt). I was told tickets would be transferred. No tickets have been sent! Also claims tiger droppings username is Cajun12

That sucks. That person is scum of the earth. But never send Venmo, no protection in events like this.

Can't you toggle "Turn on for purchases"? Havent needed to use this, but I think this would protect against fraud?

Also to OP -- This sucks man! Something I've found helpful is to get the person to reply to a thread using their login on Tiger Droppings. That way you can see their account history -- How long have they been a member? How many posts do they have? Have there been other complaints?

I get them to actually post using their handle because anyone can text you or email you any user name from here and not actually be them.

I filled out a police report this morning with that scammers phone number and Venmo account.
Also contacted my bank and they are tracing the funds to the scammers checking account.
