I thought I purchased NFL tickets to see the colts and Pats play. I saw this David Brent's auctions on Ebay and notified him via email and did not place bid b/c he had a message saying if interested in purchasing all 4 ticketsfor 600.00 to contact his email ([email protected])
I did and mentioned that I saw his other auctions and asked if i could purchase two more tickets for another 100.00 each. He agreed so 6 tickets, for 800.00 dollars.
He emailed me info that we were going to use Sqare Trade, a 3 party to Ebay, I checked into it and found it to be legit. I got emails from Sqare Trade telling me that I needed to wire the money and they needed the control number, So I did that and emailed them back w/ all information needed.
The email also stated that the sender would not get money until i received the product. To sum it up, I never got my tickets and he got my money.
The next day (1-20-07) I contacted him but my emails got rejected. I have contacted Fed ex b/c that's how the tickets were to be sent to me and nothing was in their data base w/ my information. I contacted Western Union and foundout that money was picked up on 1-20-07 at 5:16 Am (Eastern Time) and Contacted Ebay but they have no recollection of this person w/ the info I have about him and told me he must have hacked into someone's account.
I asked Western Union how they are affiliated w/ Square Trade and said they are not and that I was receiving spoof emails. Please do not be fooled like me!
