I had posted an ad on Craigslist wanting to buy two Tool tickets to the Dallas, Texas show in January. I got a call from a guy posing to be "Jerold Sablan" telling me he had some tickets for $150 each for a good section. Seeing as all Tool show are expensive to go to this seemed like a good price. He seemed like a real ticket guy. He wanted me to wire him money through Western Union, telling me how good and safe they are. I have never done a Western Union and was kind of skeptical on using it. He told me he wasn't trying to scam anyone over a little $150. I paid him $150 the first day as that was all I had. He said he had the tickets in will call and would switch them over to my name as soon as he got the first payment. When he got it, he seemed like he was working hard to get the tickets transferred. He called me at 12 in the morning giving me a fake conformation code saying to call Ticketmaster in the morning and give them this code. I then asked him on the phone why he couldn't make the show. He went on about how he and his girlfriend got engaged and were going to be in Dallas so that his girlfriends "loaded" aunt would throw them an engagement party, but plans fell through since his girlfriend couldn't take off work. It was a believable story for the most part. When I called Ticketmaster, they said they was no tickets under his fake name and that the code wasn't one of their codes. I called and called him and he wouldn't answer. He finally texted me saying he was at work and that he would call later. As I waited he finally called me and said there was a mix up and that he would resolve it once I sent the second payment. I did and still nothing was done. He had an excuse after and excuse. This is when I had finally had enough and searched his number on Google to see if he was a scammer. I saw this site and Scamreport.com with people posting that they have ripped them off. This is when I confronted him about this and he got all defensive saying it was fake and bullshit. I told he to give me my money back and he said he was cool with it. Two days go by and he hasn't done anything. He always has an excuse! Is this guy a joke or what? And if you threaten to call the cops or anything all he says is that he can prove his case. Prove what case? That he is a scammer and that he didn't give me any tickets in return of my payment? This guy thinks he is invisible and can be stopped. All I want is my money back. It isn't that hard seeing as I sent him money in less that 5 minutes. Jesse, I will post back on here if this issue is resolved. If not then the whole world will continue to know how big of a con artist you are. Don't think that you can get away with this forever. Cops already know about you. The funny thing is that you say you go to church. You really think God would approve of what you are doing right now? Own up and be a man
