Paying RMB 100 Extra to Buy Concert Tickets but Losing RMB 190,000: CCTV Exposes Insider Ticketing Scam
Glon.io August 4th｜According to CCTV Financial News, as the summer heats up, various concerts and music festivals are blazing across the country. If someone tells you that there's an "internal channel" or they have a connection with the organizer and can help buy tickets for you, will you be tempted? Ms. Wang from Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, wanted to see a well-known singer's concert, but since all official ticketing platform tickets were sold out, she turned to a second-hand trading platform to find resale information. However, due to believing the claim that "paying an extra RMB 100 can get you an official ticket," she ultimately didn't buy any tickets and lost RMB 190,000 instead. Finally, with joint efforts from police in Wenzhou and Nantong, Ms. Wang's RMB 198,000+ was successfully recovered.
