Just posted a WTB, including my cell phone, and received three text messages. None of them were willing to talk over the phone at first but now, one says he is willing.

What are the techniques used to determine whether someone is scamming?

Already assuming I shouldnt have posted my cell number!

Thanks in advance!

Check posting history on Ticket Exchange. Only do business with Aggies.

A real seller/buyer will be just fine talking on the phone.

If you think you are being scammed, you are ...

Have them respond to your WTB post so you can look at post history.

Since you can PM with people, I suggest working with known people through that method.

Thank you Ag13 and the rest of you! All great information. I was amazed that I was contacted by 3 different people within 20 minutes of posting a WTB. Ignorantly, I had no idea the scammers were this rampant.

Sucks, but posting WTB is basically dousing yourself in honey and running into a bear den.

If you must, require that they communicate via PM so you can check their history and ensure it's a legit poster. I absolutely would not buy out here any other way

AG MOM (just changed the username to HoustonAg75), natan-ag & spearman are the same peron with 3 account currently scamming. I posted a wtb LSU tickets & got hit by all 3. I lost some $$$ to AG MOM. I feel stupid, but do NOT do business with these usernames.
