Tried with me. Scum.

Yep, he got a couple more of us in the past few days.

There's a running list of scumbags in this thread: PLEASE BE CAREFUL! - Page 4 | TexAgs

Did they try and sell section 103 row 4 for $75 to Arkansas? I just LOL'd at them.

He has now changed his name to OldAggie_2

Just saw that

How did the scam work?

I posted that I was looking for Arky tickets for Friday night. He pretends to have tickets. Sends fake screenshots of his 12th man account. I fall for it and send him money via Zelle. He stops responding to all correspondence. He hit me up via private message. Outside of his habitual scams I'm sure he's a great guy.

We really need some way for buyers and sellers to verify their ID with TexAgs. AgTag works but not everyone can get one. I am to the point where I will only deal with people who have AgTags and significant posting history.

Paypal only. Do not use friends and family option.

Stay away from all other forms of payment.

Venmo has an option where you can say it is for merchandise and it charges the seller a small fee. You can offer to add a little to the price to cover it and if the seller refuses that is a red flag.

I dont have an Ag Tag but have a significant posing history...i sell tickets for a friend when his family obligations get in the way.

I dont think that having to have both is that important but i would always still be wary of scammers

If I was thinking of buying tickets from you and I saw your posting history goes back to 2010 I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Maybe there should be a rule that you can't list tickets for sale if you don't have at least a one year posting history or something? And while they're at it make it where Rookies can't start threads...

Also I still think TA should have additional levels beyond Legend since there are so many posters who have Legend status 10x over or more....

Since sus_agdawg/oldaggie_2 has a TMF tag, maybe they can track this scumbag. But he was surely banned since no posts since 4/30. I wonder which rookie he is now.

Posting history is the biggest indicator of scammers here.

Hand to hand exchanges are also helpful.

I'm sure they signed up for the min per month and using a stolen card or a gift card that's not traceable

Make the Ticket Exchange Ag Tag and premium and basic subscription exclusive.

I would be for this. No tag, but i'd buy the subscription during times when I'm selling.

For everyone out there possibly buying, do not just give in because they say howdy or Gig 'Em. Ask personal questions or ask to meet locally (even if you aren't planning to). Ask for their name/class year, etc.

If they give vague answers, press them on it.

We have a lot of football tickets so I'm often selling in the fall but I will always give anyone who hasn't bought from me before my full name, email, phone number, and enough information for them to out me bad. I also always offer to meet locally if they want, etc.

It's a damn shame *******s and scammers exploit others on here.

They would have to make it ag tag + some sub. Just a sub all the scammers would buy just like the poster here did (using charge card/stolen cc etc) and would give people a false sense of security (just like this person PM'ing on here).

Ag Tag isn't fail proof. Randy had an Ag Tag.

Dang ol Randy!

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the same guy.

https://texags.com/account/profile/315593

Same posting style and got a TMF tag a few days after joining. Could be wrong since account was created while the other account was still posting.

Compare and make your own decisions.

Yup. Saw another guy with same thing. Guessing some AI program that's posting.

Why can't TexAgs take care of these?

If so a very shady wanna be Aggie.

Totally agree...AgTag should be a requirement moving forward. We should hit up the TexAgs Radio show this upcoming week. Show airs live on YouTube and Nuno and staff do read comments live on the air. Something HAS to get done to avoid future scams.

Certain requirements I would put in place would be Ag Tag and premium or basic subscriptions, or just charge a flat fee in order to view the ticket exchange. Screw the scammers!

Flat fee they would just pay using stolen funds or something untraceable. Would cause people to feel that much more safe when shouldn't.

I bet you're right! Both this person and the other one have the same MO. (I was going to add more similarities but don't want to help them get smarter.)
