Olivia and I agreed that we’d head up to the Women’s Rogers Cup in Montreal during August this summer. I’m actually very excited - has been 4 years since I went to see a professional Tennis match, despite my former near-obsession with it.
This means some time spent in Belle-Montreal. Tickets are on sale now (200+ Level only!) but I’m crusing Craigslist and kijiji for some courtsides for the Final/Semis. Got one reply so far from my request posting:
hello,
i do have Rogers Cup 2006 100 Level Tickets and sure going for a reasonable price.I do resite over in and i guess this is few miles away from you but sure shouldnt be a problem cos the tickets will be delivered in not ime through a good courier service,via FEDEX and also provide you with a trcking number for an easy trace.Do kindly get back at me if this is okay in order to inform you on the mode of payment.Will be awaiting,
Note the ‘push’ to get things done QUICK when I recieved no details about what session etc they were OR a price. I replied:
Hi XXXXXX,
Sound great - what session are these for?
Send over the info etc, as well as a contact number, address, and a couple of selling references. I’d prefer to do a direct bank deposit - I can deposit into any Canadian Bank account and this would help protect us both.
Thanks

Big flags now. Rushing me, no references, STILL no session date, wants a western union payment, quoted “Row 12″ when the rows are letters, not numbers. Next he’ll probably request I wire the money to Nigeria instead of Montreal, and offer me gold mine deed. I write back saying no thanks unless he clarifies, gives references and I can do a direct bank deposit. No reply.
What I don’t understand is who would scam someone over $560? A quick risk/reward calculation yields a puzzingly low profit considering that this is ‘wire fraud’ and heavy heavy jailtime.
Most likely because it’s a small enough sum that most people simply wouldn’t follow up?
As part of his Mission: Impossible 3 publicity tour, Tom Cruise made an appearance on BET’s 106 and Park and was encouraged to dance on stage. Nothing I say can prepare your mind for what you’re about to witness. Just make sure to brace yourself, because the awesomeness of this clip has been known to physically knock people off their feat.
Craig is right - this guy is a LOON and his old publicist had the right idea keeping him hidden from cameras.
