We were 99% sure this was a scam with the price for the tickets but were willing to see just how far the rabbit hole went.
Posting this so you can see the type of language they use and schemes these assholes try to run...
Ran the numbers and they came back as being generated through a computer program. 917 and 201 area codes
PayPal accounts they gave were Klok0501.kok@gmail.com and dige2594@gmail.com
The seats were section 301, row 25, and one of the seats was seat 4. They never told us the other seat numbers.
bullshite alarm already going off
He had already sent a screenshot of 1 of the tickets and we just wanted to see that he did in fact have 3 to sell so we asked for a screenshot of the other2. No barcodes or anything. But apparently his "wife" thought that was too much to ask
Then he started getting mouthy and acting like we were out of line for wanting some sort of confirmation on the tickets that he had. The extremely loose handle on the English language (punctuation in particular) was the second red flag. Also, I'm the "buddy" in the below message.
Against better judgement, but knowing PayPal had our back
, sent the payment and sent a screenshot as they requested. This is where it blows all the way up....
Yea of course, something is wrong with your account and want to switch to another platform where we arent protected now that you know we sent it Goods and Services
They wanted us to cancel it and send it to the second PayPal account to which we declined.
Like I said, just wanted to post this so others can see speech/ text patterns and maybe some of the tricks that they may use. Hopefully this can help someone out.
Also, PayPal protection had our back and is returning the money
