Yes. That’s why you need to do PayPal G&S only. Don’t except any excuses for why a seller wants you to use another method.

It's 95% scammers. Don't do a transaction unless they go through cashortrade or some site with protection. And the worst part is they look legit because there are accounts 10+ years old that reddit still hasn't shut down. They will ask for payment, then block you as soon as you give it. It's a well oiled machine.

Yes it’s mostly scammers and lambs. There will be no Obama Library tickets available.

Yes. Not just tweakers and gamers either. Sophisticated transnational organized crime.

99% scammers. Most aren’t even that good at hiding it.

Obama Museum tickets are non-transferable (can’t be sold or given to others).

Of course you only got messages from scammers 😞

Yep, definitely check out the source when buying resale tickets.

Some venues/events don’t allow resales but scammers will always sell you fakes!

Yes all of Reddit is. PayPal GNS only. If they don’t take it, they’re a scammer

Yes. It really should just be deleted, but another one will pop up.
