feeling so angry at the moment about the man who has just conned me out of over £200 for tickets to see Beyonce in Manchester. My daughter is a big Beyonce fan and we have tried everywhere to get tickets for the concert in Manchester. On Friday I saw two tickets advertised from a man in Wales who said he had got the tickets for wife & daughetr who could not attend. I knew I did not have time to drive to Wales so asked him if he could post them special delivery if I transferred the money which I did. I had texts confirming bank details etc and then nothing despite repeated calls & texts.
Later in the evening I noticed the tickets were still advertised so e mailed to which he responded he had not received payment despite my bank twice confirming the payment. The bank account turned out to be in another town to where seller said he was. Gumtree investigating and I went to police station and was just told to ring ActionFraud which deals with internet crime. Bank details would surely confirm the address and prompt action before the concert may have stopped him defrauding anyone else?
With hindsight I should have been more cautious but I have bought tickets like this on a number of occasions with no problem
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
