Hey Vancouver, hey you to welcome to another two for two video and today's topic is ticket scams. From my experience, I've purchased many tickets over the internet. Other arm craigslist, ticket master, or other legitimate websites. I haven't been scamming yet, so I'm pretty good at spotting fake tickets. I've bought concert tickets, I've bought live show event tickets, I've bought comedian tickets, comedy show tickets, I've bought a wish cut weekend passes for music festivals. Really uncraxeless, meaning people in real life, paying cash, you know, doing the transfer kind of thing. And you know ticket master, you can pay it using e-transfer or money transfer and get your tickets electronically transferred from the seller's ticket master account to the buyers ticket master account. So let's legitimate sell you a story. Last week Wednesday, January 24th, 2018, Adam Sandler and guests were in town to the ortho and theater to do a live show, live comedy show. And I've watched Adam Sandler movies when I was tiny, oh, when I was younger, I wanted to get tickets. And I didn't want to pay the $130 regular price for them. I wanted to last minute tickets that I try to get for concerts or shows that I, on the fence above, I go on craigslist like I usually do. I search craigslist, I see one ad, catches my eye. $85 each ticket. And remember, these are a regular price, $100 to $100. But I'm thinking I'm getting a sweet deal for this. Well, I look in the ad and there's a number, 778 number. Very cool 778 is a local area called here and greater Vancouver. I text the number. Interested in one Adam Sandler ticket. Not even two minutes later to person text back. Hi, I can do a single section or roll 19 lowers for $85. Just provide full name and email. If you want them and I'll email them to you shortly. You can send an e-transfer upon ticket, receipt and provide the password after the entry to the show. Thanks. Send my name. First and last name, and I sent my email address. They text back. Send me in five minutes. I go, okay. One ticket, PDF and it's just ticket master. I'm assuming it should be ticket master transfer. It wasn't. It was a PDF attached to an email. And right after that, they said they sent the wrong one. So they sent another one. And take a look at the time stamps on these text messages. 736. The show's already started. 8 o'clock. Please update us. Need e-transfer ASAP. It was kind of sketchy. I was just like, hmm, what's going on here? Why would someone send tickets before they even get paid? Remember, these tickets can only be used once. So one entry, if it's already been scanned a ticket, the next person with the same copy of that ticket will not be allowed into the venue. Just waiting to do that now, sent in a few minutes back. e-transfer took a bit of time. Thanks. e-transfer doesn't take that much time. Maybe half an hour at most. I was looking for something more sneaky. I got sent them a fake e-transfer email. Change the selector bank to deposit this e-transfer with a link to a malware-effective website. Yes, there is actually a website on the internet that has a list of all the websites that are infected. It's a database. I know it's crazy. It's scary. Don't click on those links. There's no screenshot for the password I sent. And I usually send passwords in a text file attached to the email. It's a little bit more secure, but email is not secure at all. So FYI for people out there. But this text file that I attached with a password in it is actually not really a text file. It's actually a live virus that I downloaded off another website, which I'm not going to put a link in the description just because, you know, I created a virtual machine. I put like Linux on it. I went to the live website and downloaded the virus. We named it to password.text, attached it to me, email and sent it off. So the next text message from this person was at 7 a.m. in the morning, next day. Doesn't make any sense. Why would you send a ticket and not get your money for it? Okay, maybe the person's not here locally. Maybe there's somewhere overseas or somewhere else. I did some research online. I did a reverse lookup on the 7778 number. And I found out the number was a VoIP line and the provider of this VoIP line is in Toronto. So I'm assuming this person lives in Toronto, set up a line for their number to connect with the 7778 number here in Vancouver locally for the reason to scam people in Vancouver. Next day, 7 a.m. the text, excuse me. What are you trying to do? Send me a virus. Send the e-Transfer ASAP or we're opening an investigation shortly. What the hell? You're going to open an investigation for $85. You've already sent me the ticket. Here's what I played dumb. I sent you a e-Transfer. I think my computer's infected with a virus. Do you know how to clean it? You didn't send the e-Transfer or the password. The e-Transfer is sent as a virus. The e-Transfer is sent through your online banking and never appear like that. So this person was smarter than the average scammer. In short, send the e-Transfer ASAP. Send, please send it from your phone directly within your online banking account. Use password's Canada. That is what I did. It's like a really bad relationship, eh? When persons angriens, you know, sending massive texts and I reply with a single line of text, I hate that when that happens. I really do. I don't ever do that. If this is a genuine mistake, then yes, you are definitely infected with a virus. I believe it's the side, I think you spell it wrong. Cyber ransomware. Google it to find a how to clean it. FYI, if it's a ransomware, I won't be able to clean it unless I have backups of my computer. Because ransomware, you gotta pay a ransom to actually get your files back. Ransomware encrypts files. I could do another two for two video for that. I should do more two for two videos. Can you help? I'm also good with computers. Go with computers. Please send the e-Transfer ASAP either from your cell phone or from another computer. To establish this was a genuine mistake. Then we will try and help you with this genuine mistake. So you're gonna help me after I send the e-Transfer. You gotta understand that this is after the show's over. The show was last night, 730 PM. The text that person sending me now, next day, why do you still want your money? You've given the tickets away. They could really gonna go and sue me for 85 dollar tickets that you gave away. You didn't do it legitimately anyway. Ticketmaster transfers. I don't feel safe with my computer infected with a virus. Can we meet in person? I can give you cash. Now available for cash pickup. He's not local. This is why we ask you to send it from a cell phone or another computer. And sure you do so ASAP. Thanks, so 715, 744 AM. You didn't update on this ASAP. Thanks. Can this virus affect cell phone too? Shit. I'm a good actor on text. Don't know, it seems unlikely. Please try a different computer if anything. ASAP. Thanks. This person likes ASAP ASAP. I don't have another computer. We'll have to wait until I can bring this computer to a shop to get fixed. Can you do it from your phone? Just make sure you don't do it from within your online banking. Nope. Won't let me open any web pages. Who knows that due to the timing of the eat transfer, we assume it will send from your phone. Instead, please try and send from your computer ASAP. We really can't wait this long. It was due yesterday. Or get a friend to send it. Thanks. It was not sent from my phone. It was sent from my computer. My computer can't get to any websites. Everything is a virus. You know, notice the bad English? How did this happen? I think I have to reset my computer and phone. Okay, please reset, try and send ASAP. Thanks. 1045 AM. Last text message from the scam. I don't think this person's asking me for their $85 back. I never went to the show because I'm absolutely sure those tickets will not get me in. You can't really change the name on the tickets when you order them from ticket master. The name of the tickets appear. The name is your count and your credit card, FYI. For the people in Vancouver, for the people on YouTube, just watch out when you're searching on Craigslist. Something's too good to be true. It most likely is too good to be true. If you have any questions, I'm a professional computer tech consultant. Just send me a DM. And as always, sure like, subscribe, and scroll out. All right, and I search for that 778 number on Craigslist shows up the law of results. 22 be exact. Tickets from Burman Live with their lift tickets, lights, conucks tickets, quieter tickets, passport, pit general admission tickets, Commodore. So you guys be careful out there.
