Global News published this video item, entitled “Taylor Swift ticket scam: Calgary family devastated after daughter denied “dream” Christmas gift” – below is their description.
A Calgary family is warning others after scammers “stole” a pricey Christmas gift for their 10-year-old daughter: Taylor Swift concert tickets.
“I contacted the original poster and told them I was interested in the tickets,” Marc Pepin told Global News. “I also reached out directly to my friend who shared the post and asked, ‘Hey do you know this person? Is it legit?’ They vouched for it and said it was their cousin.”
Pepin said he then agreed to a price with the seller — $2,000 for four tickets via e-transfer. The seller promised to transfer the tickets through Ticketmaster, but then started asking for more things including more money.
“They were asking for more money to validate the tickets. And then we were to send that money to a different email address. That’s when the red flags really went off.”
Tomasia DaSilva shares their story.
