Is this a scam?

[Holly Christmas]

Okaaaay. I'm quite anxious about this. Scared of it being a scam.

I'll explain.

A lady is selling 2 Peter Kay tickets on Facebook. They are 60 quid each.

So I've chatted with her and arranged to pay her for them via bank transfer installments. But I'm unsure if it is genuine.

I asked for the bank account details and alarm bells are ringing because of the name on the account? I can't say what it is here but it's a character name from a film.

What should I do??

Bank transfer could well be dodgy, would be very hard to get money back if so..can you not use PayPal?

[Vicky.]

Also that she will accept installments sounds iffy

I don't use PayPal Vicky.

Almost certainly a scam it the account name doesn't match their FB name. FB is absolutely awash with ticket scammers

[Alf]

Give me her details, and I'll buy them instead.

That's my best advice.

The account name is a male name.

Anytime I worry about being scammed … its usually been a scam …

I type all the relevant info at hand into Google and see what it throws up .. occasionally some other people have had similar doubts and asked on X or Reddit and Google will link their conversations .

Alternatively ask one or two of the Ai engines

Could be her man’s account? But just ask her if it’s her account or her mans

Yeah don't do it, I've seen so many people get burned like that

She said it is her husbands account. Bur it's a different surname.

[bots]

if you have the smallest doubt, don't do it. If you want tickets, get them from authorised sources

[The Grinch]

Hmm, could be a scam or she didn’t take his name. I’d get PayPal, if it’s a scam you’d get your money back easily

[Holly Christmas]

It's the name on the account ringing the biggest alarm bells.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Doesn’t sound like a scam to me

Is it a strange movie name? Or is it a little believable? How much would the tickets go for ?

[Holly Christmas]

It blatantly does.

It's not believable. The tickets are double what she's asking for them.

Shut up Glenn. You just want me to lose my money. It is extremely suspicious.

[The Grinch]

It's not believable. The tickets are double what she's asking for them.

If you are wary I’d say leave them. You don’t want to lose money if it is a scam. Or maybe go through her friends list see if her husband is actually there

Sounds like you know it's a scam

I do 99%. I'm just sad someone would do that and regretful cos it's a great deal. Just too good to be true.

[Candy Annie Cane]

Sounds like a if it's too good to be true it probably is scenario. Facebook is rife with them sadly

[Alf]

Where's the show at?

When is it?

I want to see this.

[Holly Christmas]

I just reverse image searched her. She has various accounts on different social media under different names

Kate the red flags are there, no one would accept payment in instalments ...and they are too cheap...avoid

[Cherry Christmas]

Were you not bragging about having Kate on ignore?

Someone quoted ha. The ignore feature doesn’t render them completely invisible.

But thanks for your concern. I suggest you divert the attention back to the topic of the thread and not what I’m posting.

I suggest you stop telling us ad infinitum you have Kate on ignore then, are you actually incapable of not posting on one of her threads, all very odd

actually thinking about it were you not bragging about Tapatalk and how it stopped quotes or something something....

[Good King Glennceslas]

I couldn’t believe someone was actually wanting to spend money on Peter Kay tickets. That’s odd

No just stops the offender from being seen. But again I can see you’re up for a little row and I’ve had far too much of a busy day so you’re easily boring me this evening

[Holly Christmas]

AnnieK can Glenn's posts be deleted please. He's trolling and not on topic.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Think Cherie was the one who changed the topic. Maybe SHE should stop trolling.

Not sure why I’m getting hounded?

[Good King Glennceslas]

Sigh

Oh fcuk off. You were trolling by saying it wasn't a scam. It obviously is.

And stop pretending you can't see my posts. You just answered me and nobody quoted me.

Going to close this as it seems we've clarified that it is a scam
