  • Scams

    Ordered some concert tickets there a while back.
    TicketsMyWay.com (one of the first results on Google)

    10 days later, no tickets.
    Called them - got an answering machine.
    Never got a call back.

    emailed em - no emails back.

    Had to dispute it with my CC company. Ticketsmyway refunded all except some $40 processing fee. Had to dispute that by writing a letter.

    Better Business Beurea said they received many complaints from this place.

    It's a scam - they say they're very busy and sorry they couldn't process the order, and they'll refund all $ except $40 for some irrefundable fee.

    This was last year - and their website is still up.

    Don't order from this place, unless you want to be SCAMMED!

    that really sucks. I guess they make 25 bucks per person then, because they pay a charge back of 15 bucks to the cc company and they keep the rest.

      Interesting!

      On closer inspection of their website, it doesn't look like they are selling tickets anymore, just forwarding people with click's.

          Who else has some scams??!!?



          I read one that people memorize #'s on Gift cards that are on the counter of stores, then they'll wait a week and call the store and find out how much $ is on the card, and order (usually) online, like Borders.com with the number.

          So if you buy any gift cards this season, grab the ones in the back!

            wow, some people are very creative, I would have never thought of that. I guess the criminal mind works differently than ours.

              Whoa thats nuts about the gift cards, makes perfect sense though, almost needs to be a security measure put into place to protect those who buy them. Or only buy from places where the gift cards are tucked away behind the counter.

                JURY DUTY SCAM

                Most of us take those summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on
                their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced.
                Fall for it and your identity could be stolen, reports CBS. In this
                con, someone calls pretending to be a court official who threateningly
                says a warrant has been issued for your arrest because you didn't show
                up for jury duty. The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you
                protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer
                asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or
                she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Sometimes
                they even ask for credit card numbers. Give out any of this
                inform ation and bingo - Your identity just got stolen.
                The scam has been reported so far in 11 states. Th is (sc am) is
                particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to
                try to bully people into giving information by pretending they're with
                the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued
                nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the
                fraud.

                            Yeah, those surveys are junk. I tried them and got the same thing as you. Just lots of junk mail and no $

                            Beware buying DVDs on Ebay.
                            Bought Kung Fu Hustle on ebay when it first came out. Said it was "Brand new" and everything. The thing came, it was a burned/bootleg CD in a plastic sleeve. The damned thing wouldnt even play in my DVD player because it had some thick bogus label sticker on top of the CD. The seller disappeared shortly after I contacted him. Thumbs up!

                              I bought the second Austin Powers on DVD on eBay. Came to my door no problems, played well, no problems, but then I started to look at it and it was the Canadian version; I took the sleeve out of the DVD cover, flipped it over, and the whole thing was in french, lol!
