Police said they received several reports between March 3 and 7 from victims of being sold by an online seller. Upon receiving the victim’s payment via PayNow or bank transfer, the woman failed to deliver the concert tickets and could not be contacted thereafter.

Cảnh sát Singapore đã xác định được danh tính của người phụ nữ thông qua các cuộc điều tra tiếp theo và bắt giữ cô sau đó. Họ cho biết thêm: “Các cuộc điều tra sơ bộ cho thấy cô ấy được cho là có liên quan đến các báo cáo tương tự khác với số tiền thiệt hại lên tới hơn 24.000 đô la Singapore”.
Trước đó vào ngày 1/3, cảnh sát Singapore cho biết ít nhất 334 người đã trở thành nạn nhân của các vụ lừa đảo liên quan đến vé xem concert của Taylor Swift, các nạn nhân trình báo rơi vào tháng 1 và tháng 2, với tổng thiệt hại lên tới ít nhất 213.000 đô la Singapore. Nạn “scam vé” là một trong những bóng đen cực kì nhức nhối bao phủ lên 6 đêm The Eras Tour của Taylor Swift.
Hàng trăm khán giả (bao gồm không ít người Việt Nam) là nạn nhân của nạn scam vé do nhu cầu vé quá lớn của The Eras Tour Singapore.
