The West Shore RCMP is currently investigating numerous complaints of fraud involving the re-sale of concert tickets via several Facebook Community Groups and Facebook Marketplace.
Police have received at least 4 complaints regarding a fraud taking place on Facebook Marketplace and within local Facebook Community Groups. The complainants advised police that they contacted the seller who claimed to have Taylor Swift concert tickets for sale, and subsequently sent money to the seller, but did not receive the tickets.
Police believe the Facebook account advertising the tickets for sale, was hacked. Unfortunately, this fraud has multiple victims who have lost money, along with the real Facebook user whose account was hacked and their identity assumed and used to defraud people, said Cpl. Nancy Saggar, West Shore RCMP Media Relations Officer.

Police are continuing their investigation and asking other potential victims and anyone with information regarding the suspect to come forward by calling West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
There is always a risk to purchasing items privately listed for sale online, especially popular concert tickets. Police recommend only purchasing concert tickets from verified organizations.
