At least four locals were cheated out of a total of about 93,000 patacas after failing to receive concert tickets they purchased online, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said during a regular briefing yesterday.
According to the spokesperson, the four victims in the three cases are aged between 21 and 28, adding that they attempted to buy tickets for a Twins gig and a Jay Chou Chieh-lun concert taking place in Hong Kong and Macau respectively.
According to the spokesperson, a similar tactic was used in the cases in that the victims met a woman between last and this month in a chat group on a mobile messaging app, WeChat, adding that people in the chat group included ticket buyers and sellers.
