Taylor Swift scam victims may become single
Are you a Taylor Swift Fan?
News outlets across Canada including CHCH news reported that people have become scam victims.
A Burlington Ontario woman has unknowingly scammed people of over $300,000.00 for Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert tickets. She had many friends that successfully bought tickets from her before and that fully trusted her 100%. The scam resulted from her buying Taylor Swift concert tickets from a 3rd-party whom she thought was a very trustworthy source.
Why could scam victims be single?
Folks spending an enormous amount of money on anything in today's affordability crisis spells disaster. This is especially true for those spending $2,500.00 (instead of $20-$40) on a Taylor Swift concert ticket. This overspending creates depression particularly in scam victims of extremely expensive tickets.
This demonstrates a lack of money management skills and increases the odds you'll become single and homeless.
Folks who think we're overreacting should pay a store $1,000.00 for one banana.
We'd be sad if you emptied your life savings (RRSP's, 401K etc.) for Taylor Swift and could not see her.
Why we give NO pity
We previously stated that Eventbrite and Ticketmaster scams exist. Reviews about Eventbrite and other 3rd-party platforms have been accessible for months. This should prompt people to investigate the seller BEFORE buying tickets.
Unfortunately, people forget little important details to evade each scam due to their high obsession with Taylor Swift.
Don't become a victim!
This applies to all events, not just those by Taylor Swift.
- Order tickets direct from organizers REAL websites.
- Review organizer's terms of sale. No terms could mean a scam operation
- Ask the organizer any questions BEFORE buying ANY tickets.
- Know the organizer's payment processor, so you can file a chargeback if you feel scammed.
- Pay using your credit card, NOT through a badly rated company: PayPal.
- Get an official receipt (or genuine copy of ticket) after successful purchase.
- Avoid 3rd-party ticket brokers like Eventbrite. They charge high fees.
- If anyone (including your most trustworthy friend) wants to sell tickets to you on social media, phone him/her to confirm the intention.
