Swift’s Eras Tour tickets were suspended from February 23 through February 9, according to Carousell, who noted that seat scams grew in the run-up to her performances on the global stage.

The police advised members of the public to take precautionary measures, such as avoiding making progress payment or immediate bank transfers to the owner, to prevent falling victim to these scams.

” It probably is if the cost is also good to be true.” Purchase just from reputable dealers or trustworthy options, particularly for high-value things,” they said. &nbsp,

The authorities urged caution against scammers who may entice customers to call them  and who may offer a better or faster cope if lender move payments are made directly to them.

They may also use a local bank account or offer a version of a driver’s license or NRIC to convince you that they are real buyers. Do not fall for it, the officers remarked.
