The person answered a "wanted" ad I'd placed on Gumtree website for concert tickets, provided me with bank account details, accepted $200 payment, and failed to provide the tickets that I've paid them for.

Same thing happened to me and my sister he won't answer any calls or text or emails we are furious and are taking this to the police!! I can't believe people do this sort of stuff!!

He worked for my company back in 2010 and changed invoice bank details to his own whilst I was on maternity leave. He stole over $70,000. Cops are still after him. Can't wait for them to catch you Clint you deserve everything that is coming and eventually you'll get done. Never trust this person with anything.

This guy is a scammer, he 'sold' me 2 x Ben Howard tickets, I asked to pay by Paypal but he didn't have an account. Paid $140 by bank deposit, his phone has been off ever since. I called my local police station and he has 9 pending fraud charges against him. I'm going to report him today, hopefully with these statements they'll be able to track him down and charge him and we'll get our money back! Absolute scum.

This person also has another number 0432 692 690. His name is spelt Clint Wiebenga - he is a ticket scammer....
Stating he is from the country and sounding stupid.
He took money for Laneway Perth tickets and hw has not picked up his phone since...

Been caught by this guy today for alleged Macklemore tickets. So disheartened, if anyone has made any progress on getting their money back please let me know zanekingi @ hotmail.com

Same story as everyone else, said he was located in a town a little bit too far for me to drive. Paid him via bank deposit because he didn't have paypal, money transfered at which point he said his wife had already sold the tickets and he would refund them to me. Never heard from him again + no refund. Until yesterday he sent me a message saying that his refund had bounced back to him. I ripped him a new one, explaining to him just how much sh*t he was in and he got very defensive saying that he "works for up to two weeks in the middle of nowhere" and that he would sue for defamation of character hahaha. Have lodged police report today, waiting to hear back from LAC but given that there area already court proceedings it seems promising. I strongly encourage everyone who still has the appropriate evidence to jump on the bandwagon.

PS. He is a gambling addict, finance by his scams.

Same thing about two weeks ago bought paid didnt receive yadda yadda, he actually contacted me today to say he'd sent the money but it didnt go through, at which point our conversation spiralled into something a bit nasty. He actually threatened me with a lawsuit for defamation of character hahaha. I didnt think it was worth it but after reading all this I think I will lodge a police statement :) Claire are you able to contact me with further information?0418 8 96 921!

Hey Guys,

same thinking happened to me. All of you should make a statement with the police. Turns out he is from sale area. They've found him and he's gone to court. I haven't got money back, but they're calling me regularly with updates and it looks promising!

If you want to get your money back going to the police is your best bet!

This is such a weird coincidence - I'd been scammed by CLINT WIEBENGA back in 2009. 300 bucks down the drain for a 'second hand wii'. Same email and all.
I can't believe he's managed to screw people over three years later. Please let me know if they catch the prick and I'll join the brigade.

Hi All,

Has anyone managed to get their money back from this Scam?? I have done a little research on the internet and found out that the person running the scams is "Clint Wiebenga" He is a Greyhound Trainer / Owner from Regional Victoria it Seems. I found the Guys business email address although unsure if current (From 2008). It is: clint.wiebenga(AT)salmat(dot)com(dot)au If anyone feels they have a Vendetta against this Guy im sure they could ring the company Salmat and see if he still works there... Please Let me know if anyone has any luck!! If anyone calls or manages to get their money back, please shoot me an email,
Thanks heaps:

I also got scammed

Clint answered my email and took my money

No tickets either

Dear Clint,

You may be laughing this off. But there is one thing with online banking, everything is tracked.

See you soon!

He got me too. $220 down the drain. Anybody had luck with getting their money back or tracking him down?

Hi there,

I have been scammed by him as well, thought it was too good to be true!! Can we contact the bank as we have the details for transferring the money??

Is Gumtree aware of it?

$240 for two camping tickets, seemed so genuine. I am furious as that is just wrong.

Scammed me out of $150 for GTM Bunbury tickets, provided realistic looking scan of the ticket and asked for half payment (2 tickets) and tickets never eventuated.

i've lost over $500 from this scum, has anybody had any luck getting their money back?

answered a wanted ad for concert tickets, i naively deposited $170 into their account - such a shame that people do this!!!

Had $240 taken last week.... Am placing an official report right now. If anyone would like to contact me to find out the out come, my email address is nichola.purcell @ live.com

The same thing with me and my friend with some pretend splendor tickets, has anyone had any success with getting his details from the bank? How do we proceed?
