An apparent scam allegedly targeting roughly four hundred people, many of whom based out of Burlington, Ont., claim to be out approximately $300,000 in total after believing they were purchasing Taylor Swift tickets in Toronto, but never receiving them.

When Annette Newton heard about a friend who said she knew a reseller with corporate tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, she had her doubts.

“I contacted that person directly and she offered me some tickets,” said Newton in an interview with CTV News on Saturday. “I asked her a little bit about her and if she could provide me some proof of some tickets she sold me in the past and she did.”

Newton said the friend-of-a-friend, who went by the name Denise Blackhawk on Facebook, had several other people vouch for her credibility.
