Text of the page (random words):
use i tried to help facebook scammers are taking over facebook event pages i should be dead by now the facebook scammers were not happy with me you ll die before the year ends one said you will die this weekend said another a scammer had posted they had tickets for sale for every fleetwood mac show in the u s they had elton john too and travis scott and the free rockefeller christmas tree lighting and the free local snowflake parade in my tiny hometown in new jersey i decided to take action i go to a lot of concerts i keep track of what s happening by saving these events on facebook they appear in my facebook calendar i keep up with the event what time the acts go on and maybe buy or sell tickets it s a great tool last september the smithereens were playing the hoboken music arts festival i saved the event then i noticed under the discussion tab that someone had tickets for sale me and my family can t make it to this wonderful event kindly dm me for cheap tickets at a discount rate if you are interested the offer said but it s a free event i looked at the seller s profile it looked a little off a couple of photos of a really attractive girl no friends didn t live in the area i noticed the username in the url did not match the name i did a facebook search on the username then searched those results for posts by the username the search revealed that this facebook account had tickets for sale for multiple events all over the world i found dozens more accounts with similar offerings i discovered that facebook provides gifs to use in comments some of them were pretty funny there is a spinning fraud alert siren and flashing this person is a scammer text there is elaine from seinfeld pointing fake fake fake and cardi b you just mad fake i started posting these as comments to the scammers ticket offers some unsuspecting users inquired about buying the tickets i was especially concerned with these so i simply commented that this person is a scammer to warn them sometimes i posted the search results displaying all the tickets they had for sale i received a few thank yous i decided to engage these offerings to see how these thieves operated i used facebook s messenger to dm edward moses username rehemamwangek about phish tickets he has tickets to all their events i need 2 tickets ok he needs to figure out which event how much good seats yes good seats how many do you need uh i told you already i need two how can i get them still no confirmation of what i am trying to buy ok they are digital tickets i can send them to your email ok where are the seats you have paypal make sure you use friends family option a non refundable option yes i have paypal where are the seats how much which show did you want i am selling tickets for two shows that i can no longer attend since my wife is having a baby or i am in the hospital or had to leave town on business or my mother is sick oh really the phish concert i m not much help they are 80 but i will sell them to you for 60 since i do not want them to go to waste good seats for phish are well over 100 to begin with ok what is your email oh and where are the seats he quickly looks up a phish event and takes a gamble seats 15 16 what section section 115 what row row 11 send me a screenshot when you are done done with what making the payment oh ok what is your email gsyombuamusembi yahoo com an actual email i received ok i am going to run that email through my imaginary security software in the meantime can you show me proof of tickets there are a lot of scammers out there okay a few minutes pass how about that proof you will see the tickets after you send payment i have been scammed before too send me some kinda screenshot no proof no payment i am a good honest christian man i would not try to scam you you can trust me i swear on my mother s grave you can send me half first ok but that email came up blacklisted where do you live what do you mean that is not possible it says not to send payment to that address due to suspicious activity i don t get you i can t send payment to that address it says it s registered overseas where do you live wait until i speak to my colleague i will get you another address ignoring the fact that i already don t trust him ok get me that proof too okay i will send you proof a few minutes go by while the scammer opens up photoshop and doctors up an already prepared generic graphic or is lazy and sends just a qr or bar code i received the same useless graphic four times and also some very convincing photoshoped images but with misspellings and other errors i receive one from edward i sent you proof okay let me know when you make payment he sends me a qr code with scribblings to mask it you call that proof it does not say the name of the event the date the seats nothing you think i am a fool then i receive a link to buy a google play gift card or itunes wait what happened to paypal where are you located buy the gift card and send me the code let me know when you are done and send me the screenshot then i will send the tickets he says ignoring me at that point i am through having fun i go to the search page with all the scammer s ticket offerings and make warning comments with gifs on as many of their posts as i can before the scammer can see them once they notice they curse at me in nigerian or tell me that i will die then they block me to prevent me from causing further damage once i got my first death threat i thought it would be better to use a fake account i tried that facebook quickly takes down those accounts as they eventually do the scammers but it s a game of whack a mole the scammers keep opening up new ones knowing that they are only temporary and going in for the quick score the smart ones post on the day of the show right up to show time looking for people looking for last minute deals desperate to see their favorite artist the dumb ones even post after the show is over some are more ambitious and post six months in advance the upcoming rolling stones shows area already littered with offers my main goal in all of this was to create awareness most of the time i simply make gif comments on a few of their posts to big ticket shows and then block them before they even see them since i was using my own account to help police facebook i put my personal account in jeopardy the comment scammer was tagged as bullying and it was removed despite my appeal i called a thief a thief and the thief won facebook provides a gif that calls people scammers but using text is bullying then my account was suspended then totally disabled i am sure the scammers reported me and facebook s bots went into action if a real person at facebook checked they would see that those accounts have probably been suspended and if not they will be soon did anybody at facebook a real person look at my activity instead of facebook recognizing that i was helping facebook prevent fraud i was penalized kicked out while the scammers continue doing business i am now going through the process of having my account restored i have submitted an appeal to get my account back i heard it can take a while it s the new year i am still alive what should facebook do assign a few people to monitor event pages of major concert tours discover the fraudulent accounts and immediately disable the accounts for violation of terms of service yes they will open new accounts but if this is done quickly and consistently it will eliminate 1000 s of scam postings in just a few minutes and it will be harder for the scammers to be successful most of these scammers have posts on dozens of events all at once and add new ones everyday facebook could also increase awareness of these scammer posts to the event admins many do not know or care that this is happening i contacted a few smaller venues directly and they quickly deleted the posts the few larger venues i contacted ignored my requests posted by eric at 4

chicago s pezband formed in 1971 in 1978 retail giant record world crowned pezband most promising new act of the year perhaps that s because they got lumped into the resurging skinny tie power pop scene of the late 70 s they released 3 full length lp s pezband laughing in the dark and cover to cover as well as two live ep s 30 seconds over schaumburg and too old too soon despite talent great records and critical acclaim the band never sold a lot of records and quickly found themselves in the cut out bins i dug out my pezband lps and price stickers on the jackets revealed that i paid 25 cents for their debut and a buck for their second being signed to south plainfield nj s passport records certainly didn t help them much they split up in 1980 pezband were mimi betinis guitar vocals
