That Trust has been broken from time to time. I hope those tickets were worth it because you pissed away the trust of a very good community.
There were no tickets in either situation.

I’m pretty sure you need a social insurance number to get a Canadian bank account, right? And someone would have access to link the email address to that. Maybe no one here but on Interac’s side.

I wonder if it’s possible to prevent people from sending private messages until they have a certain post count and time on the site.

That is usually a good sign, as about 95-98% of the new registrations we get are not legit. (Like 90-95% are obvious bots and/or scammers.)
Piss poor english in every post.

Sorry to get everybody's hopes up, but I really don't have much more to add. The username they selected matches what they had as their Twitter handle. Most likely just picked the username off a random twitter handle.

The IP addresses they used all come back to VPNs.

As I mentioned they did respond to the text verification. So normally that is good. What is interesting is that when I google that phone number- there is another forum where they reported being scammed by that person for an RV pass.

Jeff- if you want to take this any further please reach out via PM. I am thinking seeing as it's almost a year since registering the phone number is no longer tied to them; so I don't want to post it and potentially cause issues for somebody else.

Roughnecks tickets and an RV Pass?

What is this, like the worst criminal of all time? What kind of high-end lucrative heist might they be going after next? A magazine subscription?

What? Ticket scamming is a very common criminal business.

You’re quite astute at identifying dry humour and sarcasm. Have you considered marketing your skillset?

I just can't imagine what has to be going on in someone's life where they need to find balance by being an ass to people they don't know.
