Hey, long time no post here on gamespot, and I'm sorry if this isn't on the right board. Anyways, I'm planning on buying tickets to the Vancouver -Boston NHL game and there's this lady who is selling 4 tickets for $350 each. The problem is, she's in LA and she was granted the tickets by the company she works for; Travers Realty she claims. I'm a little skeptic, as the price sounds too good to be true. But she had a solution to try and overcome my doubt. She linked me to Parcel2Ship, a site which safely completes the deal. I have heard of Parcel2Ship before, but the site she linked me too looks different from the parcel2ship site I had googled in. She had linked me to

www.parcel2ship.co.uk.sitedetails.info/parcel-suppliers/en_language/webship.high.html

But when I found the Parcel2Ship site I found from Google, it looked much different. http://www.parcel2ship.co.uk/

I can't even direct myself back to the homepage I had been sent in the email. Anyways, Help would be appreciated and sorry for the dumb question, I'm not much of an online buyer :P

Suggest to her another service of your choosing, if she backs out then no harm done, if she don't you get your tickets and doublecheck they are not fake ones.

Coming from someone who's been scammed before, this is what drug addicts do all the time to get money. No certainty but I suggest stay away and forget about it.

If you ever doubt something is a scam it is best to avoid it. Not worth the risk. As they say if it is too good to be true, it probably is.

Just don't take the deal, it sounds like its 95% chance of being a scam

Find a legitimate seller to buy the tickets from

If she agrees to use something that you trust, I'd go for it. If she won't let you pick, don't do it.

The fact she sent you a link to a site which looks like another site but isn't it is proof enough that she is trying to scam you.

Since you know it's a scam, just screw around with the lady. Lulz will be had.
