Your favourite band is playing, and you’re desperate to go, but don’t have a ticket. Unfortunately, scammers are trying to cash in on this summer’s must-see gigs, claiming they can get you into sold-out events. So be on your guard.
The Oasis gigs, that kicked off on Friday, are among the big-ticket events being used by fraudsters to trick unsuspecting music fans. Earlier this year, Lloyds Bank said that more than 1,000 customers had fallen victim to scams that offered access to the eagerly anticipated concerts. Fans lost an average of £436 each, with the biggest loss more than £1,700.
