Description

Called Ticketmaster to get a refund on an event and when they transferred me they transferred to an individual, named Kevin, that stated he can give me a refund but I had to buy a Ticketmaster gift card. I did not see a Ticketmaster gift card so he told me to get the apply gift card. Once I got the Apple gift card he stated their system was down and that I would be refunded the amount on the gift card but I would have to get another. He also emailed me a copy of the supposed refund. This was an ongoing process until I caught on to what he was doing. Once I confronted him he hung up in my face
