BRIMMER !! need a little detective help - I've been scammed !!!
« on: October 21, 2010, 02:12:46 PM »
Well, It looks like I might have fallen for a scam.  Purchased some Ranger playoff tickets off craigslist.   Mistake #1

Talked to a girl that had 2 tics to a playoff game.  Said she had to sell because she was out of town at her father's funeral.
So, like a dumbass, I took her at her word.  Mistake #2

I paid her via a greendot MoneyPak card (owned by ebay & paypal)   This works like cash - she is able to re-load a card she already has.  Mistake #3

Anyway, I have yet to receive the tickets (e-tickets)    Now I still have hope that she is just overwhelmed with family and has yet to email them to me.
I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.    But the more the clock ticks away, it just seems like I might have took it in the shorts.

Is anybody able to get any personal information from an email address and a phone number ?    I have actually spoken to her on the phone, so it's a working
phone number in Ohio (Ohio is where she told me she was - at her aunt's house)    She said that it is her aunt's number.  

I'm going to give her until 5:00pm  before I post her email address and phone number.


Here's the number:  614-753-7658    alias:  Mark and Kathy Johnson.     **  possible last name:  Perkins

GJ,

Start by Googling anything you have on her including names, e-mail addy's, phone #'s, dead relatives, or anything else she may have told you. Work from there & be diligent. Hopefully you'll be able to track her down through something you find. Others here should be able to throw in some other ideas. Good luck!

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I fixed that for you.

Well, It looks like I might have fallen for a scam.  Purchased some Ranger Yankees playoff tickets off craigslist.   Mistake #1

Sounds like one heck of a situation to be worrying about baseball.  I am quite sure that I will not be selling tickets when I am grieving a loss like that.

The person who owns this number places false Craglist postings. Be aware of her scams. She sells tickets to sporting events and tells you put money on her Greendot card. You never receive the tickets.)
