When buying concert tickets, it’s always best to buy them from the official ticketing website – or you may fall prey to scalpers, scammers and “ticketing services”. Twitter user Nuna recently shared her experience getting scammed for RM550 when she attempted to buy Taylor Swift concert tickets from a “Noor Fatieha Binti Suhaimi”.

According to Nuna, Fatieha is a Malaysian who claimed to be a student in Singapore. She even shared images of Fatieha’s identification card and passport, which were given to her by the scammer to prove the legitimacy of the tickets.

According to the Twitter thread, Nuna had purchased tickets for Taylor Swift’s concert in Singapore through Fatieha. While there was no mention of how much the tickets had cost, the victim revealed that she paid RM550 to the scammer, which is only a portion of the total amount. The local influencer said she began suspecting the scammer when the bank account details did not belong to Fatieha but instead belonged to Mazizam Bin Ibrahim. 

Unfortunately, Nuna proceeded with the purchase and transferred RM550 to Mazizam’s account. However, when Fatieha tried to coerce Nuna to pay another RM550, she rejected and demanded her money back. That’s when the scammer started making excuses to avoid returning the money despite constant pressure from Nuna. As of now, the scammer’s Twitter account has been banned, following reports from netizens.

However, after her thread went viral, Nuna was approached by a kind samaritan who offered to give RM600 to her. While she did not reveal the identity of the person, Nuna said that it was a Dewi Remaja contestant who is also a Taylor Swift fan.

Many netizens have reacted to the Twitter thread, sending sympathy to Nuna and warning others about the scammer. However, one tweet revealed that the same IC was used to scam her but using different bank accounts. Some netizens then discussed if Fatieha was a scam victim, wondering if the real scammer may be a group of people using Fatieha’s details as a front.

The thread also led many to share tips and tricks to detect potential scammers to avoid getting cheated. Some even shared information about what to do if you were scammed and are trying to report or get back your money. Here are some of the information provided:

  • Immediately report to Bank Negara and file a complaint via their BNMTELELINK at 1-300-88-5465. There may be a chance of getting your money back if the report is made within 24 hours of the transfer.
  • Refer to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) regarding scammer’s details. A report may be lodged against the scammer if needed.
  • Immediately contact your bank’s scam hotline or the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) at 997.

We can hope that the scammer – or scammers – get caught for their crimes. Let’s also use this incident to remind us to be more vigilant when buying something from an unverified source.
