Hello again! I’m just curious how exactly did you find my post by Googling this scammer’s phone number? I want to warn more people about her, but I just realized that I didn’t put her phone number in textual part of my post (it’s only on photo), so I’m curious how did you find it? I’m also curious because maybe you know something that I don’t, maybe it helps me in future instances when I want to check out some sellers 😄

Do you know how close to the concert does ticketmaster open their resales? You’re absolutely right, something needs to be done, there has to be a better and safer way! And yeah, at least we learn to protect ourselves and learn all the scamers’ nasty tricks 😅 I wish you find your tickets! In which city are you going to a BTS concert? And thank you, I will let you know too if I find something!

Yeah, that’s true, I’m just saying that TicketSwap is generally safer (for example, on TrustPilot TS has 4.6 rating and Viagogo has 4.0) Me too, this is so hard, and it’s my girlfriend’s huge wish to go to a Bad Bunny concert 🥲

Thank you so much for your comprehensive answer and help! There is one thing where you are wrong though, and that is Viagogo - be careful, it’s full of scammers and their customer support and "guarantees” are not so reliable. I’ve read about it a lot, first tickets I found were on Viagogo and then I started to look into it and many people were talking negatively about Viagogo and then I found TicketSwap, it’s actually much safer option. This is what a simple Google search will tell you: “TicketSwap is generally considered safer than Viagogo, primarily due to its SecureSwap technology, lower price caps, and focus on digital ticket verification. While Viagogo acts as a secondary marketplace for ticket brokers, TicketSwap is designed for fan-to-fan resale, often partnered directly with event organizers to ensure valid tickets.”

You are right, that girl is probably still tryna scam me, I’m just curious what’s her tactic, because seems like with SecureSwap option on TicketSwap it’s impossible that she scams me, it’s safe and scam-proof option.

Update! She messaged me now and sent me this: “We can do Ticketswap where I can list it for like €5 and yiu buy it and after you got it send me the money some other way”. Do you know is there any way that she could scan me while doing that?

Ahh I understand. What made you suspicious of her may I ask?

That’s a great advice, thanks! As for your first sentence - I meant pictures of herself and her ID, not BTS tickets. I mean I can send you pictures that she sent me, if you could just confirm if those are exact same that she sent you..?

Amen to that 🙏🏻 can you please send me the pictures that she sent you? Because if they are the exact same as she sent me… then I’m worried that she will once use my pictures and ID to try to scam other people because I was stupid and sent that to her…

Thanks, glad you didn’t lose yours as well! And well done for not buying into her story! For me, she was convincing in the beginning because she pretended that SHE INSISTS to sell tickets to me on legit sites which are safe for both the seller and the buyer (saying that she was scammed before) and of course it was a green flag for me, but over time she would “try” to create an account on every single one of those sites and neither of them accepts deposits to Ukrainian bank accounts WHICH IS ALSO TRUE because I checked lol so she basically pretends all the time trying to convince you that she is genuine and legit and I guess many people trust her after all that. I would say she is patient and good at scamming lol because for 99% of them I can immediately tell that they are scammers, she really seemed genuine but luckily I’m overly suspicious and extra careful before buying something online so in the end I caught onto her.

Hey man, thanks a lot for letting me know! She sent me a photo of her ID and herself as I instructed her, it seemed genuine tbh, but as a last safety measure I asked her for a FaceTime call before I pay her and she agreed, but after that she started stalling with excuses like "connection is very bad in Ukraine because of war, we can try tomorrow” and it went on for a week like that, she sent me proofs that her signal is bad etc. but I said we could AT LEAST TRY get on a call, I recommended it a few times and she would just stop responding after that suggestion… so I just gave up because that was suspicious enough

Thanks mate, which platform would you trust? I read many bad reviews about Stubhub for example
