I posted an ad on Kijiji in Edmonton, Alberta inquiring about tickets to a show at the River Cree later this month. I was contacted quite soon after, by a man calling himself Chris. He said he had tickets he was trying to get rid of due to an inability to attend the event. He said he could transfer me the tickets via Ticketmaster. He banked with TD and wanted an email transfer. He called me for the password using a private number, which should have raised red flags but unfortunately I am a trusting person. He asked if I was at my computer to accept the tickets, however as soon as the money was deposited into his account via etransfer he hung up. I did not receive any tickets. I tried to contact him via his number, email and text. I never received a response.
