I got scammed by this guy too. David Prandi is just a scammer. Sells tickets and leaves you high and dry! NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GUY!

He took my tickets which I paid for, says they were no longer good, and he sold them to someone else for more than what I paid for them.

This guy is awful. I think he is a criminal and needs to go back to Prison. If I only knew this BEFORE I bought from him, I would have never bought. With a little search on Google, David Alexander Prandi, you'll find all the crap about this guy and his 'businesses'.

Report that this guy was Convicted for Sexual Assault, and is now a registered Sex Offender

Ex-Deputy Gets Year in Jail for Sexual Assault / Former Marin County officer was friend of teen victims' families
October 22, 1999|By Pamela J. Podger, Chronicle Staff Writer

A former Marin County deputy sheriff was sentenced to one year in Sonoma County Jail and three years of probation for sexually assaulting two young women in his Petaluma home.

Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Patricia Gray sharply rebuked the defendant, David Alexander Prandi, 33, for his apparent lack of remorse and for blaming the victims in a presentencing interview. She chided him for taking advantage of his position as a former law enforcement official and family friend of the victims, as well as planning and calculating his actions.

"Mr. Prandi is in complete denial that he ever did anything inappropriate, and he enrolled his friends and family to write letters on his behalf, " Gray said. "That makes him one of the most dangerous members of this community who don't take responsibility for their actions."

Prandi, who has no prior criminal record and is currently employed at an Internet startup company, faces a state prison term of four years and eight months if he violates his probation. He also must register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life, is forbidden from having any contact with his victims and must pay restitution and fees.

Prosecutor James Casey, who described Prandi as a "sexual terrorist, " said the sentence was appropriate. He said Prandi could be released from jail in nine months, but has the state prison term hanging over his head.

"This is as tough as it gets, " Casey said, noting that as a sexual predator and former correctional officer, Prandi will land at the bottom of the inmate pecking order.

The felony charges of false imprisonment and sexual battery stem from incidents in May when Prandi lured a 17-year-old girl and, the next day, a 19-year-old San Rafael woman to his apartment. On both occasions, the victims told police they were blindfolded and handcuffed. Prandi pleaded no contest to charges that he kissed and fondled the victims and that he penetrated the 19-year-old with his finger.

Prandi, dressed in a charcoal gray suit, attempted yesterday to defend his remarks during the October probation interview, saying he had no money to fight a related civil lawsuit filed just days before and wanted to shield himself from any comments that could be used against him.

"I was extremely guarded in what I had to say, " Prandi said. "I'm sorry for what happened."

Prandi was handcuffed and led away to jail under the gaze of family and courtroom onlookers, including one of his victims who tightly clutched hands with a friend during the judge's remarks.

Contra Costa County lawyer Harry Stern, who represented Prandi, the son of former Marin County Sheriff Charles Prandi, said Prandi was remorseful.

David Prandi has acknowledged "that he has dragged the family name through dirt, " Stern said. "I think it was a fair sentence in light of all that went on. I think he certainly has been humbled by this experience and he hopes the victims have a period of healing."

I do not know how any of you can claim you got scammed. He only accepted credit cards when I used his service.

This seems like a slander attempt. I have purchased at least 25 events... never had a problem with his tickets, pricing etc.

Any company that accepts credit cards - cannot rip you off. I also read that the buyer bought his tickets thru ebay and was given a refund. If he was a scammer, he would not have a 1600+ feedback rating on ebay and I just don't believe you. I did speak to him about his character issue... and I must say... the man got screwed 15 years ago. His business thrived even though there were people like you lying about this business man. He has a little daughter. Why do people lie so often on the internet. (He charged your credit card over $1000... 1. that would be a crime. a felony. 2. You would be protected by any credit card you used. I say BS!

I got scammed by Friendly Tickets on gruvr.com. He kept promising I'd receive my 6 tickets, and then disappeared, would not return calls or emails, etc. He charged my credit card over $1000. How does he keep getting away with this?!? FRIENDLY TICKETS IS SCAM!
