Watch out for Scammers on this Site

That is what I thought as well. He claimed he paid $600 to my Venmo (or at least he said he did), then I received an alleged text from Venmo saying that my account was only authorized to accept $400 from a business account, so I needed to tell the sender to send an additional $400. This again made no sense. The text gave me a telephone number to a known scammer phone number. The known scammer phone number was 313-301-6093, which is not a Venmo customer service number. He then sent me an email and said he had already sent the additional $400 to Venmo (who does that?) and that he had called that phone number provided in my text. I figured out the text was from him, not Venmo Customer Service (I had given him my cell phone number to confirm). He stopped emailing me after I caught him. Pretty elaborate. Watch out.

Well that’s wild! Thanks for explaining.

I guess you can change your profile name, because he certainly did.

Looking back at that post, I think you may be falsely accusing HoldThatTiger03 .. you posted your email in that thread, HoldThatTiger03 does not have an email listed. Probably some scammer without a TD account contacted you, your email is out there for the public to see not the original poster's

I could be convinced otherwise. I have all of my emails with him.

Here is what happened:

All of the emails came from Tiger Fanboy at Geauxtigers1984@outlook.com I even gave Tiger Fanboy my cell phone number and told him to call me to confirm everything. He never did call me.

I then received the strange Spam Text, pretending to be from Venmo, to my cell phone. I didn't post my cell phone number on the post.

Tiger Fanboy responded to that Spam Text.

Even all of the follow up emails came from Geauxtigers1984@outlook.com

After it was all said and done and I accused him of the scam, he was still sending me emails.

I am very cautious when I sell my tickets on the LSU Ticket Exchange.

Sounds like the name attached to their email was Tiger Fanboy. You can't change your user name on TD. There is not a Tiger Fanboy in the TD member list. No doubt someone was trying to scam you, it just was not the poster you are accusing. It was a random scammer who contacted you because you put your email on a public forum.

You can't just change your TD user name, you are accusing the wrong person. I am not sure why you think their user name that has been in use for 6 years was somehow changed then changed back in a 3 hour window to scam you. You posted your email and some random scammer tried to same you is the only explanation.

If this is true I’d like to know how.
