This scam or the likes of it may have previously been reported, but it seems that some of our upstanding las vegas citizens may be at it again. Though I do believe that if someone is ripped off by one of these scams, they likely deserved the lesson taught, but nonetheless, here is a warning.
If someone attempts to sell you tickets to Pearl Jam, or actually any other venue, and advise you that you will pay him/her, and they will give you a phone number and password to the location of the tickets, you are being scammed. The final act to this recent scam is that your receipt for the transaction is filled out on a napkin.
Yeah, you're pretty dumb if you fall for that. MIght as well start a thread reminding everyone on the board to breathe.
