I am talking about the ever-so shady craiglist transaction. I am trying to purchase tickets for the NCAA title game. This person has them for a face value (which is about half price of the market value). I have had various communications with her, but I just cant get a good read on her by the emails.
She is using a third party to collect the money and ship the tickets. The way the transactions is supposed to work is this: I go to this wesite here and put in my payment information (which has to be a cash transfer) and then they deliver it. The have a statement on the page that says if buyer is not satisfied with merchandise then they must return the item and then will be refunded. This delivery place is one of those places that delivers furniture and other things from online merchandisers. I've used one of these companies before when I bought my bar and everything went real smooth.
Another consideration is that I have the sellers name and address. I looked up the address and it was the Career and Community Learning Center at the University of Minnesota. Very random...I wonder if I should call the building and see she works there or something.
What do you guys think? Scam?
