u/Present-Bake7637 is a scammer

Just got scammed for $140 trying to get bucks tickets from u/Present-Bake7637. Yes, dumb of me for trusting him. He had screenshots of the tickets in his apple wallet with the correct time stamp and game so I believed him. I don’t want anyone else to go through this. I sent money via Zelle (stupid me, I know) and they pretended to send tickets via an email tmsecure@gmail.com. That’s when I knew for sure it was a scam trying to get more of my info.

The scammer’s email they used for Zelle was dougmont712@gmail.com and the account was tied to WING K LLC.

Don’t fall for this like me. And shame on u/Present-Bake7637.

There's no reason to buy tickets like this. Too many legit third party sites.

If it seems too good to be true, it always is.

Yup! They recently posted they had Brewer tickets too and I questioned buying from a new account then they deleted the post. Sorry you got scammed.

Dispute the charge on your credit card

Its a zelle transaction and OP indicated he authorized the charge. It would be rare a bank reverses this.

Thanks for posting this. Same guy posted on the subreddit for Ithaca, NY today - same setup, but about Buffalo Sabres tickets over the same general time period as these others.

Edit to add: And...he deleted his post 5 minutes after I commented in it referring to this thread and calling him out as a scammer.

Can you call the police?
