SINGAPORE — A 29-year-old woman has been arrested for her involvement in scams relating to the sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets on online marketplace Carousell, the police said on Monday (March 11).

The police said in a statement they received several reports between March 3 and 7 from victims who were purportedly cheated by an online seller advertising the sale of the concert tickets on the online platform.

Upon receiving the victims' payments via PayNow or bank transfer, the woman failed to deliver the concert tickets and became uncontactable, said the police.

Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division established the identity of the woman through follow-up investigations and subsequently arrested her on March 11.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that she is believed to be involved in other similar reports with losses amounting to more than S$24,000,” they added.

On March 1, the police said that at least 334 people fell victim to scams involving Taylor Swift concert tickets in January and February, with total losses amounting to at least S$213,000.

Earlier in February, Carousell suspended the sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets, as there was a rise in ticket scams in the lead up to her shows globally.

The woman will be charged in court on Tuesday with the offence of cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code 1871, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine.
To prevent being a victim of scams, the police advise members of the public to adopt the following precautionary measures:

• Purchase tickets only from authorised sellers or reputable sources, especially for high-value items
• Avoid making advance payment whenever possible
• Opt for buyer protection by using in-built payment options that release payment to the seller only upon delivery

“Scammers may entice buyers to contact them directly through messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or WeChat by offering a better or faster deal if bank transfer payments are made directly to them,” said the police.

“They may also use a local bank account or provide a copy of a NRIC/driver’s licence to make you believe that they are genuine sellers.”

SINGAPORE: A 29-year-old woman was on Tuesday (Mar 12) charged in court with cheating a Taylor Swift fan into paying S$350 for tickets to the first of the US pop star's recent shows in Singapore.

The police previously said that Foo Mei Qi, a Singaporean, is believed to have scammed customers on online marketplace Carousell of more than S$24,000 (US$18,000).

Foo currently faces a single charge of cheating. Court documents state that she supposedly tricked another woman into transferring S$350 to her via the PayNow platform on Sep 13, 2023.

This was for tickets to Swift’s concert on Mar 2 — the first night of the star's Singapore tour.
Swift wrapped up the last of her six sold-out shows on Saturday. Singapore was the only stop in Southeast Asia for her Eras Tour after government agencies secured an exclusive deal with her.

The police said they received several reports between Mar 3 and Mar 7 from victims who were purportedly cheated by an online seller advertising the sale of concert tickets on Carousell.

The seller, upon receiving payment via PayNow or bank transfer, failed to deliver the concert tickets and became uncontactable.

The police subsequently established the woman's identity through follow-up investigations and arrested her on Monday.
On Tuesday, a judge ordered Foo to be remanded at Woodlands Police Division for investigations. She will return to court on Mar 19.

Those convicted of cheating can be fined or jailed for up to 10 years.

The police said on Mar 1 that at least S$213,000 were lost to Swift concert ticket scams over the past two months. More than 330 victims fell prey to such scams in January and February, they added.


Carousell suspended the sale of Swift’s Eras Tour tickets from Feb 23 to Mar 9, noting that ticket scams rose in the lead-up to her shows globally.

To avoid falling victim to such scams, the police advised members of the public to take precautionary measures such as avoiding making advance payments or direct bank transfers to the seller.
