The Deep River Police Service is warning the public about recent scams on Facebook and Facebook Marketplace involving the resale of Taylor Swift tickets. Scammers are either creating fake accounts or hacking into real Facebook accounts to offer concert tickets for sale. They ask for a deposit or full payment upfront before supposedly sending the tickets. However, the tickets are never delivered, leaving buyers scammed.
Police are urging people to be cautious when purchasing tickets online, especially from private sellers. They strongly advise against buying tickets from unverified sources and suggest using trusted, verified organizations for ticket purchases.
These scams are targeting eager Taylor Swift fans, and the police emphasize the importance of protecting your money and personal information online. Buyers should always verify the legitimacy of the seller before making any payments to avoid falling victim to these fraudulent schemes.
