There is a person posting canucks tickets for sale named Linda. She says that she is a real estate agent from Zephyr Real Estate, based in San Francisco.
The story goes that the tickets were bought by the company for a client that cancelled a deal. Now she wants to sell the tickets to get the cost back. Their are 4 tickets in a row. Location is lower bowl - awesome seats. The price is $300 each (must by all 4 for a total of $1200). When you email her, she introduces herself using an actual Zephyr agents
name and company graphics to make the email look legit. Only, the phone numbers are not for the real "Linda", the website for Zephyr Real Estate is a bogus rendition of the real website. When you write that you are interested. She sends back an email on how to arrange payment and delivery using "a company that her firm uses frequently".
How I found out this was a scam: I contacted the real "Linda" from Zephyr Real Estate who wrote back and said: "This is a scam and they unfortunately used my name and contact info". So beware of similar set ups.
Here is her scam email:
Hi, my name is Linda Byrd and I am from San Francisco, Ca. I still have the 4 Canucks Stanley Cup tickets for home game 1 and home game 2, all 4 in sec 118, row 8, all 4 together for $300 each. I can send the tickets with overnight services and you can receive them on Friday at your address in Canada. They were bought by my company as a bonus we were going to give on a deal to a customer from Canada. Unfortunately the deal did not go through and now we have
them, but cannot use them.
I work for Zephyr Real Estate, in San Francisco, Ca. My company will pay for the delivery of the tickets with the overnight delivery so you can receive them on Friday.
These are hard tickets, they were bought from season holder, and now we are looking to get back what was paid for them.
If you are still interested please back to me and let's work on the
delivery and payment arrangements.
Cheers
Linda
