After reading on The Consumerist and elsewhere about a scammer bilking people for NBA Finals tickets, Robbie decided to do something awesome. He called the police. That’s right, if a consumer crime is committed, there is actually something more effective to do than blog about it. Robbie reports the cops seemed receptive to taking the guy out.

Guess there is a reason to pay your taxes after all.

Furthemore, Andy posted to an old thread talking about the scammer and came up with lots of info about who the scammer may be. His bet is on someone’s dad.
