This sounds like the guy - the guy I spoke to said he relocated to Miami, former LSU grad and his dad, just deceased, was a professor in Architecture at LSU. Basically the process he described was that to go to grocery store with western union/ in this case went to minute money in Miami and that money would not be released until the FedEx guy showed me the envelope with the tickets, an authenticated letter from LSU and a parking pass and once I reviewed that I would sign a release form that he had to release the money. What happended is the money was released immediately when did the minute money transaction, he gave us fake fedex tracking number as well.

This guy JUST called me with almost exact same story except wanted me to use the debit card isntead of Western Union for the transaction. I suggested going through ebay or an internet site while on the phone that protects us both but he refused and when I told him I wasn't comfortable he became almost rude and very hurried. Just to let everyone know that he is still out there as of Oct 6... Be careful.
