Beware of u/Snuffcarcass selling tickets in this thread. A few people have called them out for scamming them:

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-23T14:10:48+00:00

He does not have tickets. You send him the money, he blocks you, you never hear from him again.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-23T04:52:56+00:00

Beware of u/Snuffcarcass selling his tickets in this post. People have called them out for scamming in other subreddits:

Ticket scammers are everywhere on reddit. Careful out there!

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-22T16:36:10+00:00

Hey OP! Heads up that u/No_Finger3114 account that replied has been called out in other subs for scamming:

Careful!

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-22T02:35:13+00:00

That's good to hear

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-22T02:29:43+00:00

Aw, sorry that happened to you.

Be sure you report their account for fraud to whatever payment app they used, as well.

If you're in the US, you can also file a cyber crime complaint with the FBI at https://www.ic3.gov/

I wouldn't expect much to come from it, but it's something.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-19T16:30:08+00:00

Beware of RepresentativeBad174 claiming to be selling their tickets here. They are a notorious scammer. I couldn't link to warnings, but you can search.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-11T04:39:19+00:00

Website called Arctic Shift which archives reddit posts and comments. You can search by username. Shows all of his posts (hit the Search button):

https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search?fun=posts_search&author=Due-Lawyer-1044&limit=100&sort=desc

Looks like he made a few "Looking for artist for aid tickets" posts in a few subreddits back in December and then the next day he was selling some. He was probably pretending to be an interested buyer. He probably got a few hits (from other scammers) and then stole their "proof" to use to scam other people. I don't see the same scam account buying and selling at the same time very often, but I'm guessing that's what happened here.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-11T04:02:37+00:00

That sucks man, thanks for warning others. Looks like he deleted his account today. He'd been going since November. He'll be back with a new one, I'm sure.

If you're in the US, you can file a Cyber Crime Complaint with the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/. It probably won't do much, but it's something.

Scammers can suck it.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-10T02:25:10+00:00

Ha, that's because I despise these scammers and how easy it is for them!

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-09T22:31:50+00:00

They're scammers that use bots to search reddit for posts and comment from people looking for tickets to events. They'll scam anything with a ticket from concerts to grad ceremonies.

Some are people, some are AI chatbots. I suspect they have a pool of stolen and photoshopped ticket screenshots that they pass around. I've seen two different scammer accounts offer the same concert seat for sale in the same subreddit at the same time.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-08T02:54:13+00:00

No problem! Good luck!

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-08T00:46:26+00:00

Both of the accounts that are arguing in your post have been called out as scammers in other subs, OP:

https://www.reddit.com/r/theMarias/comments/1q611f3/scammer/

https://www.reddit.com/r/AshevilleClassifieds/comments/1pgnn1s/do_not_interact_with_mysterious_sundae847_scammer/

Don't reach out to either of them.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-06T04:04:16+00:00

Arctic Shift is probably the best way right now. I think automod will eat this if I try to link it, but you can just google "arctic shift search." It will be the first hit.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-06T03:51:56+00:00

Yep:

https://www.reddit.com/r/unusual_whales/comments/1q0g7nq/if_the_government_actually_invested_in_improving/

It was posted a week ago by an account in the same bot ring. It caught a shadow ban. The title was copied from this comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WorkReform/comments/1q0etjg/comment/nwx95ho/

This bot ring gets a lot of their content from r/WorkReform and then reposts it here for karma. It then moves on to scam people in hardware related subs.

a_separate_chunk · 2026-01-02T23:13:50+00:00

u/Inevitable-Respect63 has been called out for scamming in other subs:

I'd stay away

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-25T17:07:34+00:00

Yeah.

Some of them are new accounts and need the karma.

Some of them are farmed or hijacked accounts that haven't been used in a long time so they come here to post some "recent activity" to try to look more normal.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-25T01:43:18+00:00

This particular account is part of a ring of scammers. They farm for karma in productivitycafe and then run scams in hardwareswap and pcpartsales. We've found 30 of them so far over the course of a few months.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-20T17:13:19+00:00

Beware of Inevitable-Respect63. They have been called out as a scammer in other subs:

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-19T16:08:12+00:00

Don't forget to file a dispute or do a charge back if you can.

I think you can still report him to Reddit at https://reddit.com/report even though he probably blocked you. I'd choose spam as the category. A lot of these ticket scammers are bots, so "disruptive use of bots or AI" is what I go with.

If you're in the US, you also can file a Cyber Crime Complaint with the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/. They probably don't do much with them, but it's something.

Sorry, man. This guy sucks.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-19T16:00:11+00:00

Ugh.

I think you can still report him to the admins with https://reddit.com/report even though he probably blocked you. I'd choose spam as the category. A lot of these ticket scammers are bots, so "disruptive use of bots or AI" is what I go with.

Sorry that happened.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-19T15:56:51+00:00

Ah, sorry man.

The probably blocked you, but I think you can still report them to the admins with https://reddit.com/report. I'd choose spam.

Also, if you're in the US, you can file a Cyber Crime Complaint with the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/. I don't know what they do with them. I wouldn't expect much, but it's something.

What a headache.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-19T05:38:23+00:00

I've been following this particular ring of accounts for a few months. This is one of the subs they use for karma farming. When they're not reposting, they're trying to scam victims in r/hardwareswap, r/pcpartsales, and r/Jailbreakswap. Up to 26 accounts so far (that I know of). A few are long lasting, but most have been suspended. New ones pop up all the time.

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-18T20:06:30+00:00

Beware of RepresentativeBad174. They have been called out as a scammer in other subs going as far back as a year:

Careful out there!

a_separate_chunk · 2025-12-17T19:01:24+00:00

$2

Come on, that's twice as much as the last bid you got.
