Mayday and Jolin Tsai are about to hold a large-scale concert, and all Taiwanese fans are eager to try and snap up tickets. The "Criminal Bureau" issued a press release on the 22nd, stating that some fraudulent groups saw that the tickets were sold in seconds, and many fans were unable to snap up a precious ticket, so they waited for the opportunity to issue documents to major concert-related organizations such as community software to sell concert tickets.
The "Criminal Bureau" pointed out that when netizens conduct private transactions through community software or communication software, there is actually a huge risk of fraud, and there is no guarantee of consumption. It also fell directly into the pocket of the gangster.
According to the statistics of the 165 anti-fraud consulting hotline, last week, it accepted 52 cases of fraud cases reported by the public to purchase concert tickets, and the amount of each fraud ranged from NT$2,000 to NT$10,000.
The "Criminal Bureau" said that similar cases have occurred in the past. Fraud groups see that people are willing to spend a lot of money to attend the concerts in person. As long as there are well-known singers or overseas groups holding concerts, tickets are often the target of fraud by gangsters. It is recommended that people who want to buy tickets should pay first-hand and first-hand delivery to avoid the risk of fraud.
