Matthew Woodward Kaliciak Tomasz Ticket Scam on Craiglist/Ebay Internet

Below is the transcript from the scammer and I checked with Ebay regarding this and they confirmed that this was a known scam and that Ebay has never protected money orders and also that the transaction ID was missing one number as well.  Please do not fall victim to this scam.  It can be done under many names, but the email address to look out for is safe.purchase.servers@gmail.com

Hi,

I want $ 400 for the 2 tickets. The price includes shipping, because i am located in Huntsville, AL. I will deliver the tickets
via UPS overnight (UPS fees are paid by me). You will receive them in 24 hrs.

I would like to do this transaction trough eBay for protection ( I'm new on craigslist... ). eBay will send you the purchase confirmation with details how to purchase the tickets from me. If you accept my proposal please reply me with your eBay username, your full name and delivery address so I can start the official procedure. 

I will check my inbox for your reply later!

Thanks,

Matt



Ok, done! I've contacted eBay for the transaction! 

Did you receive the transaction confirmation from eBay?

 Please also check your junk/spam folder, I sometimes receive news from eBay there. 

If you got the purchase confirmation please read it. In the invoice you will find important guidelines and payment instructions.

You will be sending the money to an eBay agent who will hold the money until you will have the tickets in hand.  eBay will send the funds to me ONLY AFTER you will send them the feedback for our transaction (you received the tickets and everything is OK).

Thank you!

Thank you for your purchase. The total for your item below is US $400.00
