Offline concerts are in full swing in many places
However, scams also follow
Beware of various forms of concert ticket sales scams
Routine one
When the official tickets for the concert went on sale, ** lurked on Weibo, Xiaohongshu and other social software in advance, and after seeing someone posting information on looking for concert tickets, he waited for the opportunity to come to the door, claiming that he could help grab very tight tickets and attract people to take the bait.
Case 1
On December 10, Ms. T, who came to Binjiang Tourism, posted on Weibo whether she had concert tickets**, and received a private message from a user saying that she could help buy concert tickets. Later, the other party sent a text message claiming to be Damai.com, saying that the reservation was successful, and asked him to transfer money through the Alipay payment code, and he scanned the code to transfer 1,860 yuan according to the other party's requirements. When the other party said that he needed to transfer money again because he did not have a note card slip, he found that he had been deceived.
Case 2
On December 5, Ms. C, a resident of Binjiang, posted through Xiaohongshu to find someone to help her grab tickets for the concert. A user sent a private message to Ms. Chen and was willing to help her grab a ticket. After the concert ticket was issued, Ms. Chen did not grab the ticket, but the other party said that she had grabbed it, and sent a page to be paid, asking Ms. Chen to transfer money to her through Alipay to pay. After Ms. Chen transferred 1,500 yuan, she checked the order number and found that the order was false, and found that she was deceived into asking the other party, but she could not contact the other party.
Routine two
During the ticketing period of the concert, **claimed that there were official ticketing channels, or insiders, who sold tickets to the victim at a premium in the form of second-hand transactions and high-quality seats, but ** got the money, and when the victim found that he did not get the tickets and asked for a refund, he was blocked.
Case 1
On November 20, Ms. D, a resident of Binjiang District, was recommended by a friend on WeChat, added the so-called "insider" as a friend and bought concert tickets from the other party, but now the other party refuses to return the money and does not accept **, and was defrauded of 3,600 yuan.
Case 2
On November 14, Ms. F reported to the police that she had met a friend because of the game, and the other party said that she could help buy the concert "infield ticket", and asked Ms. Fang to pay an advance payment on the grounds that the concert infield ticket ** was relatively high. After Ms. Fang transferred the money, she found that she could not contact the other party and was defrauded of 40,000 yuan.
Routine three
Fraudsters will also use the sale of popular concert tickets as an excuse to induce fans who are "eager to ask for tickets" to pay repeatedly, so as to defraud more money, and pass the buck many times in the refund process, and finally introduce the victim into **.
Case 1
On November 28, Ms. Z reported to the police that the "scalper" in the circle of friends she was looking for had bought concert tickets and had issued tickets, and now she was looking for the other party to buy tickets, and the other party said that she had bought the tickets, so she transferred 11,200 yuan to the other party, and then the other party said that she did not buy it, and returned 5,000 yuan to Ms. Zhang, and 6,200 yuan was not refunded.
Case 2
On November 24, Ms. Y said that she contacted the other party through social platforms in August, and bought concert tickets from the Internet through the other party, and successively transferred 8,400 yuan at the request of the other party, and then the concert tickets were not grabbed, and the other party returned 4,000 yuan, but there was still 4,400 yuan that had not been refunded, and the other party could not be contacted.
