My CC# was used a couple of weeks ago for fraudulent purchases. The perp accidentally sent an order to my home address with their full name. Unfortunately, not a BM66 
It's concert tickets. This is a very unique name and I've found a person with this name in the city where the concert took place. Should I do anything? The concert has already happened, so the tickets are worthless.
Quoted from poppapin:Yupp, 1st thing you want to do is ask pinside for advise!! LOL
Well yeah. A significant percentage of Pinside has been scammed in the last few years. You folks are experts
Quoted from LTG:I'd make a police report. May catch up with the criminal, to help others.
LTG : )
Yeah, I’m going to do this. The business they bought the tickets from is based in the same city. I figure that may help.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:I’d love to go to the red rocks venue for a show. It looks amazing in the videos I’ve saw.
If you have a time machine, I can hook you up
Quoted from ForceFlow:Credit card number, expiration date, your name, service code (for determining what type of card you have and what it's allowed to be used for, such as ATM only, cash only, goods & services, etc), a few bits of info for formatting, space for a PIN, and a checksum.
Well then it wasn’t a skimmer.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:My guess is they ordered the tickets from a site that you’ve used before and it automatically defaulted to your address. Is that even possible?
The charges that went through were from AXS.com and some other site, both of which I'd never used. There was a ticketmaster charge that was held up in pending. I have used ticketmaster, but it was a long time ago. I suspect a salvage yard I purchased a part from the day prior.
Quoted from PismoArcade:I'm blown away that Allison Wonderland is booked to headline Red Rocks.
No shit! I'm a bit disappointed the scammer bought Alison Wonderland tickets.
Quoted from chubtoad13:I had a scammer use my credit card to purchase Mavericks tickets from themself for $10,000.
According to my CC company the scam is quite common. They put tickets up for sale on a website that sells 3rd party tickets and then they buy them from themselves with your credit card.
Maybe sending the tickets to you further distances themself from the scam? They could possibly prove that they sold tickets and mailed them to the buyer. If the site that was used to sell the tickets can’t prove they used a stolen CC, the site may pay the scammer for the sale and eat the loss to the CC company.
I kinda wondered about that because they were mailed from the same city. I'd think they'd put my name on the shipping address though if the goal is to make the purchase look legit?
