Possibly another dodgy aftershow ticket seller?

Just a heads up folks - i replied to an ad on gumtree for aftershow 21/9 and this is the reply i got. I'm gonna pass as I think this is very dodgy i.e the paying of money to a 'Money Shop' sounds like too much like a scam...

Hello,

Thanks for your e-mail.

We still have the tickets, but just.

I can confirm that here is payment details in order to buy the tickets as you perfer for me to post them out to you then have them collected in-person from me in Newcastle. I used to live in Essex, but since have moved north to work for Newcastle City Council.

Total amount due is £120inc SAMEDAY Postage with City LINK.

Please can you go into any MoneySHOP and make payment onto our TITANIUM account, account number is:

5209***** 00153957

The account name is my husbands, A S Mahmood

Please tell them its a TITANIUM Account and quote them the number above.

For the nearest MoneySHOP, please visit http://www.titaniumcashpl...store.html

Once payment has been made, please can you e-mail us to confirm, together with your FULL NAME and ADDRESS. If we receive payment tomorrow (Thursday) before 1:00pm, you will have the tickets the sameday before 8pm. Delivery will be made by CITY LINK. Tickets will need to be signed for.

I hope you will enjoy the show,

Thanks,



Just checked Gumtree and they have posted the following..

Best advice I can give in situations like this is to e-mail them and say:

"I'm up your way I can do cash on collection, can I have your addy and phone?"

If they're willing to do that it increases the chance they're genuine, you can also check them out on www.192.com one you have a name addy and phone.

If you're satisfied you can then say "change of plan.....etc"

Hmmm....City link charge £40 for a 7.30 am next day delivery. I would guess a same day would be at least double that.....

Plus, the number is a credit card number, not an account.....

Walk away. Sounds a scam.
