The recently popular local boy group MIRROR will hold 10 concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom in July this year.
Even though MIRROR warned fans early on the Internet not to buy scalpers for "flying", there have been exaggerated speculations on the Internet for a front row seat of 440,000 yuan.
Ticket prices for this MIRROR concert are divided into 1,280 yuan, 880 yuan and 480 yuan.
Some criminals seized this opportunity and even sold fake tickets to "mirror fans", which were eventually exposed by eye-catching buyers, and the seller who sold the "fake fly" was arrested on the spot.
2 Mirror concert front row tickets asking for 10,000 yuan
It is understood that a female buyer purchased two Mirror concert front-row tickets from a male seller on Facebook the day before yesterday (May 7), each asking for 5,000 yuan.
The two parties will meet at the MTR Cheung Sha Wan Station at about 10 p.m. on the next day (May 8) for settlement.
At the time of the incident, the female buyer was accompanied by her husband and handed over 10,000 yuan to the male seller. The male seller handed an envelope to the female buyer in the gate area. She immediately opened the envelope and carefully checked the two. MIRROR concert tickets, but found that they are only "homemade" printed fake tickets.
The female buyer found out that she had been deceived, and immediately took back 3,500 yuan in cash from the swindler. The swindler immediately tripped out of the station's payment area and fled to the road, but was stopped by the female buyer at the station entrance and exit.
The scammer immediately threw the cash in his hand on the ground. After the female buyer picked it up, she still owed $500 and could not find it. The female buyer then called the police.
After the police arrived at the scene to investigate, they arrested the fraudster and found two other envelopes containing photocopied tickets.
Trip to escape, was subdued and found another 2 fake ticket envelopes
"Hong Kong 01" asked the police about the incident.
The police replied that they received a report from a 29-year-old female victim, saying that she had purchased two concert tickets from a 20-year-old man surnamed Su on an online social platform, and made an appointment to hand them over at Cheung Sha Wan Station.
The female victim paid 10,000 yuan to Su Nan, and Su Nan handed an envelope containing two tickets to the female victim, but the female victim suspected that the other party was selling fake tickets, and the two sides quarreled.
Su then took the 6,500 yuan in cash from the female victim and attempted to escape, but the female victim reported to the police.
Police officers arrived at the scene and stopped Su Nan at Cheung Sha Wan Station. They found four other suspected forged concert tickets on him, and collected 6,000 yuan in cash at the scene.
After preliminary investigation, Su was arrested on suspicion of "obtaining property by deception" and "possessing false documents". The case was handed over to the Sham Shui Po District Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up.
