Description
So I wanted to buy tickets for US Open wonem final via Ticketmaster. There was huge problem with their payment system. So I found number on ticketmaster starting with 1-800 called there and they asked me to buy target gift card and fill it up with amount of money that was same as tickets price. So I did it and gave them card number and access code. Then they requested me to buy another card to activate some online wallet to be able to buy tickets. I requested money refund and they never did that. So I asked them what's wrong with the refund and they told me, that they can't did this, because I need to my wallet be filled with amount of 1000$ minimum. So I did that and still they gave me no refund money. From this time on they were requesting me to buy another and another card as there should be 1500 in my wallet to make them being able to refund money - for this one I have confirmation mail from fake Ticketmaster adress. They also created another wallet by mistake which was fake and I had no idea. So finally I lost 2750$.
