    Looked like an obvious cut and paste and the language is a bit dodge so asked for serial numbers and pic and the muppet emails me a pic of Lower Hogan Stand tickets that was obviously pulled from E-Bay.

    This is a regular scam on Gumtree, The seller always seems to have gone to another country and wants immediate payment. NEVER DEAL WITH a SELLER who uses Gumtree for any items
