In a statement on Thursday , the police said that there were at least 11 reported cases in which victims bought tickets offered for sales on messaging or social media platforms. These victims had responded to offers for the sale of concert tickets on platforms such as Carousell, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, TikTok and Xiaohongshu. Scammers would then provide screenshots or videos of fake tickets or receipts to convince victims that the tickets were authentic. They would also claim that ticket sales were time-sensitive or limited in quantity and promise to deliver the tickets after payment were made. When the victims told the scammers that they did not receive their concert tickets, the scammers would ask for additional payment, claiming that the initial payment was not received. The victims would only realise that they have been scammed when the "sellers" became uncontactable or when the tickets were still not delivered.Under the terms and conditions of sale by the authorised ticketing platform, Ticketmaster, the concert tickets cannot be transferred or resold. Those who are found to have purchased resale tickets will be turned away from the concert at the Singapore Sports Hub, where the National Stadium is located, with no refund.

The police said they have also reached out to platforms such as Carousell, Facebook Marketplace and TikTok to take down listings of resale tickets.If unsure if something is a scam, the public may call the 24/7 ScamShield helpline on 1799.
