SIBU - An engineer in Kuching was cheated out of RM11,530 (S$3,300) when he tried to buy tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in Singapore next year.
Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said the 50-year-old engineer on July 6 saw an advertisement on the Carousell website selling the pop star’s concert tickets.
“As he was interested in attending the concert, he purchased three tickets at the price of RM11,530,” he said.
On July 6 and July 7, he transferred the money as payment for the tickets to an account given to him by the suspect.
Datuk Mohd Azlan said the man realised that he had been cheated by the suspect when he could no longer contact him to claim the tickets.
