SINGAPORE, Feb. 6 -- A 30-year-old woman has been sentenced to three years in a Singapore jail for scamming 76 victims into paying for Taylor Swift concert tickets she never had.
Channel News Asia (CNA) reported that Foo Mei Qi defrauded over S$110,000 (RM360,000) from the victims, but none received the tickets they had paid for.
Foo pleaded guilty today to cheating between June 2023 and February 2024.
Her scheme involved listing non-existent tickets on Carousell for Swift's Eras Tour concerts that took place in Singapore from March 2 to 4 and 7 to 9, 2024.
After receiving payment, Foo ceased all contact with the victims. Despite claiming to have tickets, she only had 12, which were either already sold or promised to other buyers.
