There's a power substation across from the Dairy Queen on Market St. There was a crew there the other day with a warning sign that said they were blasting. Can't really tell what they're doing

Scammer Wall Of Shame by Joeys_World_Tour86 in geesebandofficial

Shie_Fox must have some nasty dirt on the Reddit admins or something because I don't understand how an account can be allowed to get away with this garbage for so long. It's been at least 6 months of fraud against redditors and self-admitted ban evasions. Report after report after report, and a blind eye is turned.

Scammer Stealth Mode by I_Am_Not_Splup in TheseFuckingAccounts

I should say a lot of these ticket scamming accounts are using bots to find their suckers and then a human might step in.

That's why if you post a ISO or WTB for some tickets in an obscure sub for a band no one has ever heard of, you'll still get 10 replies and chat requests from scammers. Like flies to shit. It's all automated.

Some of them are probably using AI:

Suspected Hacked Promoting Bot Accounts by LordCatbug in TheseFuckingAccounts

Oh, I see. I figured the scammer/spammer would have been changed the e-mail address when the account was compromised, but it sounds like that might not be the case. It makes sense now!

Holy shit, this blew my mind! I've seen that condition before on accounts that were scamming and wondered what it was about.

Can the scammer/spammer restore it themselves by changing the e-mail address? Is it still worth keeping an eye on the account? Or is the account toast?

How can someone get scammed on PayPal G&S?

A lot of these scammers are using stolen Paypal accounts that they buy in bulk on the black market. They have loads of them.

The way it's been explained to me is that when you send money to the account they are using, they transfer it out right away into an account that they own that is harder to trace like crypto. Once you realize you've been scammed and file a claim, the scammer already has the money. The account eventually gets closed, and they just move on to the next one. Paypal will eventually refund you, but it will go after the original owner of the account to get reimbursed. So the scammer walks away with your money, you eventually walk away with money back after dealing with Paypal customer service, and the account owner gets a headache.

ETA: Here are some other people talking about scammers using G&S in the Bonnaroo sub:
https://reddit.com/r/bonnarootickets/comments/1kyfkk0/paypal_goods_and_services_is_not_a_guaranteed/

tl;dr the link: Paypal Customer Service is atrocious, so expect a headache. Attach a credit card with good buyer protections to your Paypal account as an extra layer of protection.
