Before doing business with FIRSTHANDTICKETS.COM (FIRST HAND TICKETS) read the following:
Where to start? As a former employee for First Hand Tickets (www.firsthandtickets.com) there are many alarming and unusual things that go on with this company. Being sick and tired of seeing the terrible business ethics that go on at this place, it's only fair to know who you are REALLY dealing with when you give these guys your credit card #.
The first being, the two owners (Warren Schreiber & Vincent Grieco) are both ex-criminals in the stockfraud world. ( CHECK OUT: http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/03/business/ex-broker-faces-broader-federal-charges.html?pagewanted=1 ) Ripping people off millions of dollars 10 years ago, do you trust these guys?
Think again before you give a customer rep at FirstHandTickets.com your credit card number. 90% of the reps will say it is a "SECURE CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION", is it REALLY secure?? Nope. 90%, your credit card number is written down on a piece of yellow notepad paper with all of your personal billing information. Where does that paper end up? Left on a desk, carelessly thrown into a garbage can maybe a week later. That's great news when the minimum wage cleaning crew comes in the office every night at 11PM to clean the office with tons of personal information laying around. It gets better....those two criminals will hire anybody with arms and legs. No backround checks, I've seen the low of the low in that place. Why would backround checks be needed when dealing with hundreds of credit card numbers right????'
I had enough and left with no hard feelings. All I am trying to get across is BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!! before giving these group of 5-6 guys your credit card information.

Happy Customer
AUTHOR: Anonymous Customer - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 23, 2012
Customer service is always good. Had an issue once where tickets were sold to me after an employee told me that a game was sold out. Found out later that it wasn't and spoke to Warren personally who never charged me for the tickets.

My name is Warren Schreiber. I am responding to this anonymous report from an apparent ex - employee. Why is it anonymous? Why isn't this gentleman / woman coming forward? Why attack my background and what merit does that have?
