Columbia, SC (WLTX) - It is easy to jump online and start web surfing for a good deal on tickets.

"There are a lot of people trying to get rich off other peoples mistakes," said Jim Camp, Better Business Bureau.

But, Camp warns to be aware of people behind a computer screen.

"A lot of times through Craig's List or Ebay you are dealing with an individual through a website. You are really depending on the credibility of a person more so than the website," said Camp.

The Better Business Bureau says to avoid scams by being skeptical of:

1. Offers that sound "too good to be true"

2. Pushy sales tactics

3. Poor quality of merchandise

4. Offers that require wire transfer of funds
