As this was the first time she had booked a holiday through a Facebook ad, she kept her guard up and asked Alvin if this was a scam. Alvin promised to send the tickets through e-mail, but they never arrived. When questioned, he said the company did not buy the tickets and promised full compensation within the next 35 days.At least nine others have also claimed to be victims, said Ms Cheng. They have started a group chat to discuss their next steps.
The Malaysian, who is working in the food and beverage industry here, said it was his first time booking a trip online. “I’ve bought concert tickets online before, and it went smoothly... I thought I was far from being scammed.”
