Police Warn of Vols Game Ticket Scam

The Spring Hill Police Department (SHPD) is alerting the public about a scam involving fake football game tickets.

The SHPD say it's received several reports of someone attempting to sell tickets to the Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee game on Facebook Marketplace.

The scammers are requesting payment through online platforms like Cash App and Venmo. After receiving payment, the scammer blocks the buyer, leaving them without tickets.

SHPD advises against sending payments before receiving the tickets and recommends using a credit card for transactions, as it typically offers better fraud protection than mobile payment apps.

The newest trend in real estate

Forget DIY renovations. Co-ownership could do to real estate what Uber did to taxis.

It's simple: buyers share ownership of a high-value asset, splitting costs while enjoying all the benefits. And it's spreading like wildfire – growing 21% per year.

Take vacation homes, for example. They're expensive to own and vacant most of the year. Co-ownership lets people fully utilize these properties at a fraction of the cost.

Companies like Pacaso are already leading the charge. Through their digital marketplace, users buy, sell, and finance vacation home shares. It's been a huge success. They've already handed keys to 1,500+ happy homeowners, earning Pacaso $100m in gross profits.

And for the first time, everyday investors can own Pacaso stock. Learn more about investing in Pacaso before their share price changes 12/5.
