'[He] was clearly not the smartest cookie': Dude finds employer of guy who scammed his family member out $73 with fake concert tickets, gets him fired

Usually it's the person getting scammed that tends to be left feeling pretty unintelligent afterwards. Of course that full-blown piano wasn't $40, but you didn't want to miss the chance at a stellar deal, so you bought it online anyways. Now you have to report suspicious activity on your account and still no piano. It happens every now and then to the best of us. 

However, sometimes, when the stars align, or the scammer is sloppy, satisfying justice gets served. That is the happy story we found on Reddit recently. This guy had a family member who thought they were getting the best deal on £60 tickets ($72..94) for Luke Combs in the U.K. Tickets were scarce, so they were elated when they found them on Facebook Marketplace. They sent the money over, excited to get their tickets, but then BAM. Blocked every which way from the "seller." 

They were bummed the just got scammed out of almost $73 dollars AND they are missing the concert. OP decided to look into it and found that the dummy seller used his actual Facebook profile. So he went to the profile, screenshot his information, tried several more times reaching out to no avail. So then he did the best next thing: He emailed the scammer's HR with the scammer CC'd. Turns out the guy worked at a bank! Of all places…

HR said they were investigating their scammer employee, but it's pretty obvious he is going to be fired for his financial crime. You can't pull that kind of thing with that kind of stupidity, ESPECIALLY if you work at a bank.
