Description

I was scammed into sending $700 for 2 tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in New Orleans. The Instagram page "erastour_resell_tickets" presented itself like a broker between sellers and buyers for Taylor Swift concert tickets. Once they contacted the seller and gave me the PayPal account to send the payment to (via friends and family bc they "didn't want to be charged a fee from PayPal"), they were supposed to transfer the tickets into my Ticketmaster account. That never happened. They (the Instagram page) claimed that they suddenly were having issues with the seller ([email protected]). They said the seller wanted to sell all 4 tickets that they had at one time, instead of the 2 that was initial agreed upon, and I made sure to get confirmation that the seller was only selling me the 2 tickets. Erastour_resell_tickets then tried to convince to just buy the remaining 2 tickets and the seller would be happy and would then approve the transfer of the tickets to my Ticketmaster account. It was at that point that I realized I was being scammed and immediately asked for a refund. They said no problem and that they would contact the seller. The refund never came and the Instagram page blocked me. I am so livid and frustrated bc I was simply trying to surprise my wife with the tickets she had been dreaming about.
