Back in December, I posted here on this forum about how I had fallen for fake Bears tickets and was scammed out of $200. I got a lot of great advice, used it to work with the CBS Investigative team and Chicago PD to setup a sting operation to get this guy arrested. I also made the CBS 2 Local News.

Here's the post I made here back in December:

Would love it if you all could take a read at my blog about it. It's a bit long, but if you purchase tickets on Craigslist, this is worth a read.

You can also read my earlier post about clogging toilets with poop....

I remember reading the original and thinking "the cops are never gonna do a thing".. and then you posted the link with your interview. Pretty sweet.
