I purchased 4 tickets to Monday's Stanley cup hockey game in Detroit off the Craigslist website. Or so I thought. I am sitting here waiting for my tickets to arrive only to find out I've been scammed I surfed the net and found out others have been taken the exact same way.
Here is the email I fell for...
Hello
I have these tickets in hand and they are still for sale.
My name is Warren and I am in Manchester, United Kingdom.
I am looking to sell these tickets because I will not be there for the game. I work for the travel agency Brightsun Travel in Manchester and I am selling the tickets for my company. My company will pay for the delivery fee and we will use the overnight delivery service to get you the tickets in less than 24 hours.
We bought the tickets because we tried to make these tickets a part of a vacation package and sell the tickets along with a hollyday.
Unfortunatelly the ideea didn't catch up so we are now selling the tickets. If you are still interested I am ready to move forward with this sale as soon as we reach terms. Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal, one that will allow each one of us to make sure we receive what we are after as fast as possible and as easily as internet deals can be.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the tickets in less than 2 days, if you can take care of your part of the deal the same day as well.
The solution is provided by the international shipping company DHL which is similar to Fedex or UPS, and they will handle and delivery of the tickets as well as the payment part. With this procedure I will only receive the payment for the tickets after the game, after you receive them and see that they are genuine.
Please click on the link below to the DHL website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company where the procedure is explained.
