Description

A Facebook “friend” posted they were selling Taylor Swift tickets at cost for her concert in Indianapolis, IN on November 2, 2024. I relied that I was interested and they messaged me on Facebook messenger. After back and forth on the process that would take place, I sent $1,000 via Zelle. After, I kept getting the run around regarding the tickets being sent. By this morning, I realized it was a scam and let them know I was aware, and I was then blocked. I filed a claim through my bank and alerted Zelle who told me there is nothing they could do. So, this trusting mom is out $1000.
