Taylor Swift fan scammed out of $1,400 for fake concert tickets in Toronto

With Taylor Swift's concerts in Toronto just two months away, demand for tickets remains high. But scammers are targeting ticket seekers and it could cost "Swifties" a lot of money. Torontian Andrea Accinelli saw a Facebook post advertising four concert tickets for November, and quickly decided to buy them all given their reasonable prices. After a long series of communications online, Accinelli sent an e-transfer of $1,400 to the seller — only to get back fake tickets the next day. “When somebody wants something, they might be more likely to overlook red flags that pop up,” Accinelli says in a warning to others. “Make sure you get the person on the telephone. If they don't want to take your phone calls, they probably aren't legit.” She filed a complaint with York Regional Police, but authorities say the scammer may be nearly impossible to locate.
