Famous singers always have a hard time getting tickets for concerts, and it is even more difficult to book front-row tickets for the so-called "handshake seat". "Sing Tao Appeal King" received news from readers that some young people claimed on the Internet that tickets for the Dawn Singer concert were on sale, and they were in the front row, attracting many people to rush to buy them first, but they could not get the tickets after payment.
The bitter master, who is known as Mary, bought tickets for the Dawn Hong Kong concert for relatives and friends at the end of last year, but unfortunately he couldn't see his favorite seat on the official website. However, on an online auction platform, I saw a transfer of "handshake" tickets with a price similar to the original price; Seeing that the other party's account had only been open for more than 20 days, Mary was initially a little wary.
At the end of last year, the bitter owner who goes by the pseudonym Mary wanted to buy tickets for the Dawn Hong Kong concert for his relatives and friends, but unfortunately he couldn't see the tickets with his favorite seats on the official website.
In order to win trust, the seller threatened to show his ID card to prove it; However, Mary proposed to meet ** to confirm that the ID card belonged to the seller himself, and the other party agreed. Mary recalled: "I called him on WhatsApp** that day, and the person was a young man in his 30s. He was at home at the time and took out an ID card from his wallet and took it out to show me. I asked him to put his ID card on his face, at least to let him know that it was him, and he did it immediately. ”
Mary decided to buy tickets from him at the time, asking for one hand to pay and the other to deliver the goods. However, the young man said that he could not get the tickets until seven days before the start of the concert, and asked Mary to pay half of the price of the tickets in advance as a deposit, and Mary finally paid a deposit of more than 1,000 yuan.
When the settlement was approaching, the young man began to make excuses, saying that he and his family were in the mainland and could not return to Hong Kong to collect tickets. At one point, he said that he had no money to pay his credit card bill, so he wanted to borrow money from Mary. At this moment, Mary already knew that there was no hope of getting the ticket, and in a fit of anger, she left a negative review on the young man's account on the online auction platform, but unexpectedly received a response from others.
The bitter master exchanged messages and finally confirmed that he had been deceived
The day after I left a negative review, someone contacted me on the auction platform and said that they had set up an online group, claiming that they had been deceived by the young man and invited me to join the group. There should have been 6 to 7 people inside, most of whom, like me, had been cheated out of their deposits for tickets to the Dawn concert. Later, it was Jacky Cheung's turn to hold a concert, and people continued to be recruited. According to the calculations of the sufferers, the young man obtained at least about 10,000 yuan under different pretexts.
A group of bitter masters once relied on the young man's low ID card information to understand his background, knowing that his surname was Ke, he was a football player, and he was a member of the school team in middle school. Mary once called the two mobile phone numbers left by the young man in front of reporters, but the service has been discontinued.
Although the loss this time was not large, Mary still decided to report to "Sing Tao Grievance King", "Because online shopping is becoming more and more common, if every sufferer is deceived and says it, there will be more and more **, which is unfair to the serious business people, so I think this matter should be known to more people." * said that 6 reports have been received so far, and the cases are listed as "obtaining property by deception", which have been handed over to the third team of the Criminal Investigation Team of Western District for joint investigation, and there is no one for the time being**.
Some people engaged in the trading of concert tickets said that they should be careful of being deceived when buying tickets online. "Why would an online seller want to sell you front-row seat tickets at the original price? You don't know each other, and there are big clams jumping along the street! It is best to use a familiar network or a channel introduced by someone, and use cash settlement, hand over the tickets and pay the money in the other, neither using FPS transfer nor booking. He believes that the public should also be rational in pursuing idols, and not to rush to buy tickets without thinking when they hear someone claiming to have tickets.
According to the "2023 Law and Order Situation in Hong Kong" released by **, the number of fraud cases increased significantly by three-tenths compared with the previous year, and about seven-tenths of them involved online fraud. **Appeal to the public to patronize reputable sellers for online transactions, make face-to-face delivery as far as possible, and purchase goods through official lock-up channels as far as possible.
