I posted on Twitter to see if anyone is selling tickets for FA Cup:
Got 2 replies from guys saying they'd sell me them £100/£150 each what ever. Anyway I asked them can they post them on an auction site or let me pay through Paypal and they both have said they don't have Paypal, so would require a bank transfer.
Fake, stay away!
Turned out he was haha...
First one I made a second Twitter account and told him I'd give him £200 each. He changed from living in Brighton to living in bloody Leeds...
Second one called me and was like I promise u mate I promise u I'm legit.
Me: I can pay with Paypal through a broker I'll pay fees, also can you send me a photo of the tickets on top of an envelope with my Twitter user on it"
"My bank is on hold due to a previous guy scamming me. So you would have to send me the money in cash in the post, and I own an old Nokia with no camera sorry."
Me: "My freind is at uni at Plymouth he can collect them in person mate."
Him: "I'm not comfortable with meeting in person in case I get mugged, send me cash through post mate"
Only place I can find them is for £400 each on holiday sites f**k paying that...
That's pretty must the standard bullshit you get from a scammer on twitter these days. Basically if your going to do it through twitter.. Make sure they have a decent amount of tweets/followers, they can use paypal and that they post a picture of their tickets with their username. I've bought tickets from twitter a fair few times this season and I've not had a problem. If you don't already then follow @arsenal_tickets they are a massive! massive help!
