@TeamStubHub@StubHub had an incorrect seating chart for Disney on Ice.
They then used marketing language and said, “Front Row, best seat in the house.”
In reality it was 3rd row…
They continued to use the incorrect seating chart for the remaining 15+ shows at the @XMobileArena
Support offered no help.
@Ticketmaster had the correct seating chart, the whole time and zero marketing language for the actual front row seats.
#ScamHub
It took them years to prevent using alternate emails in the comments section (one of the only vectors scammers had to exploit a hacked account).
Nor do they (I’m guessing) measure anomalies in post volume. Hacked account goes from 20 postings a day to 200 postings, should trigger something.
Newly registered accounts with domain names days old posting 200 loads for $1,000 above market rate… let’s flag it
For years they claimed compliance was “complicated” despite catching bad actors red handed and turning them in.
They should’ve gone on the offensive years ago. Would’ve cost them illicit scammer revenue but in the long run would’ve grown the platform.
I was once a witness to an insurance fraud case out of CA:
Agency was writing scheduled auto policies listing Vins on the cert that the carrier didn’t own (most were actively for sale which is how they obtained the VINs from dealer websites) I’d call the dealers confirm the truck is in inventory and for how long, compiled a nice list as evidence.
Folks from progressive insurance also testified as they sent this agency cease and desists, as well as one of the load boards who had records of all these fraudulent certs. The evidence was overwhelming.
Judge had little idea on double brokering and how fake certs were the first step of enabling double brokering / cargo theft.
No jail time, no financial penalty… max punishment was the inability to write commercial policies in the state of CA.
There’s no blackbook nationally that follows bad actors either in the space .They can move to a new state and repeat.
@freadomtruck07@FreightAlley And LandStar won’t email for load details just to repost your load.
Imagine their fragmented model and constant “partner carrier” offerings do not fare well in this new environment.
Desperate Non-rated or conditional rated carriers will fall victim to chameleon brokers, posting loads on the boards as they get boxed out by above-board brokers.
These carriers will never be paid, zero repercussions for the “brokers”
American ownership requirements should follow this ruling for both carriers and brokers.
It makes zero sense.
Allow the account administrator to set distribution groups on who receives what.
Also, their Trusted Freight Exchange subject lines trying to be clever are annoying and prevent you from making a rule to block them.
“Jesse James left town. Your Next Run starts here”
“Birminghams calling - and it’s not about BBQ (well, maybe a little)”
Just shut up and use a normal subject line.
@supertrucker Thought the same thing. If they can’t keep a clean house with their own Relay network, you have to imagine it’ll go just as poorly or worse with someone else’s freight vs their own.
