Beware-Ticket Scam on Swap Meet

[jherdlicka]

I never thought I would get scammed on Swap Meet- I posted I need one ticket on Tuesday. I got a text from a guy said his name was Zach. I sent the money via Venmo. He won't answer text messages or phone calls and has never transferred the ticket. The ticket was Section 6 Row 7 which Smokey_12 had posted in Swap meet.
Here is his phone number, 464-228-8275. The Venmo is his wife Vonita Perkins her Venmo is @sexymissvee82. Beware!!

Sorry to hear that. That sucks.

That’s awful. I have bought and sold tickets here a lot and always felt like it was doing business with friends

I have as well and thought the same thing

Sorry to hear about your situation. Did u ask for him to send u proof that he had possession of the ticket? I'm a season ticket holder and sell tickets on here to the games that I can't attend. If I can give people like u some advice, always have sellers show u proof of the tickets that they're selling. For example, a receipt of the season tickets that they bought from the Athletic Ticket Office.

Good Idea

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that jherd. I Agree with Longhornsfandc, I'll also ask for references if I haven't transacted with that person before.

What was his handle? Seems like an easy place to start

@Smokey_12 says this "Zach" character used his posting to scam OP (pretended to be smokey) and that he sold his tickets legitimately, and he has another poster vouching for him as the actual buyer.

That's sleezy as hell that someone would do that, but seems easily doable. Definitely good idea to get some sort of authenticity prior to sending funds. I'm not vouching for anyone, just FYI. Let's treat each other honestly!

 

[GringoBling]

That sucks to hear. I've had nothing but excellent experiences on here, but definitely will be a bit more vigilant moving forward.

Very easy to do, it’s an issue with digital ticketing. I just didn’t expect it from a sleeve ball scum bag on Orangebloods.

I had nothing to do with this! My name is not Zach, I have nothing to do with sexymissvee and I have a 512 area code. It appears a troll used my KY ticket posting to scam jherdlicka. I hate to hear this happening on swap meet because I've had great luck buying and selling on here. Check my recent posts, I've got multiple people vouching for me.

 

[jherdlicka]

It would be nice to figure out who this Zach guy is and what his handle is and knock his dick dirt and kick him in balls and get him banned from OBs. It will probably never happen. We are all just a handle forced to rely on integrity and trust which we all know not everyone has.

I did a simple google search with Zach's phone number and it appears he's struck Texags too.

I’ve bought two sets of tix from Smokey_12 and had no issues. He’s legit.

Sounds like we need to mainboard this Zach person.
