A Which? member got in touch after a scammer targeted her on Facebook with fake Taylor Swift tickets for £100.
The victim was on a budget and asked their local community Facebook group if anyone had tickets they’d like to sell. The scammer sent a fake Ticketmaster email to convince the victim the tickets were real. They then asked for payment via bank transfer, and when the victim confronted the scammer, their Facebook page disappeared.
We explain how to buy tickets safely and what to do if you’ve handed over personal information to a scammer.
