Description

I was online trying to purchase two tickets from Ticketmaster. I was scammed. This happened yesterday. I am handicapped. I wanted better seats then I would get from Seat Geek. I Googled the phone number for Ticketmaster. I located 833-512-5127. I called the number. They answered Ticketmaster. This for The Cleveland Cavaliers for March 15th. I needed a wheelchair section. He told me a certain section they had. The tickets he read off were not in the wheelchair section. I was told not to worry. I purchased the tickets. He told me to pay by Ticketmaster Black card at CVS or a Target Gift card. I don't think there is such a thing as Ticketmaster Black Car. I went to CVS and purchased a $250 Target gift card. I called and read the numbers off the back of the card. After I read the numbers off he wanted me to set up an account. The account is a fake thing. They already had their money. I declined. He was going to set up an account on the computer for me. He was pretending to be real. I thought he was going to but he did not call back. I called back 833-512-5127 he did not answer anymore after I gave the numbers. I called another number and could not reach them. I called and tried to stop the transaction. It already went through. I called the number on the card.
