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?

I don't use PayPal Vicky.

Also that she will accept installments sounds iffy

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

The account name is a male name.

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

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

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

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

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

That's my best advice.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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....

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
