Type of a scam Other

I saw an ad on Craigslist for Hamilton tickets, and emailed the person about them. "Gary" said he had tickets, and said he couldn't go, because his brother had to leave town.

They had very real looking fake tickets, which had the correct time, date, theater name, play name, etc. They even had ads and laminating, and a bar code. But they were fake, unfortunately. I paid cash.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

The person (claiming to be "Gary") texted me at a very early hour from a CA area code (530). He inquired about family portraits and wanted to use a credit card to pay. I texted back that I was fully booked, unavailable and mentioned nothing about credit cards. The person texted again asking for an email address to discuss details. I did not respond as I am aware that this scam has been going to photographers over the past year.
