verifiedticketsfansale.org scam

An other scam was reported against the website verifiedticketsfansale.org on 16 September 2026. Statement of Complaint I am submitting this formal complaint to report a fraudulent concert ticket scam ("Bruno Mars - The Romantic Tour" at the Philippine Arena) executed via TikTok and iMessage. Between September 14 and September 15, 2026, I transferred a total of PHP 15,450.00 across four transactions to accounts provided by individuals operating under social media handles Cgregor_rihu and C.G Hayley, and iMessage handle hayratli@oegmail.com. No tickets were delivered, and the suspect employed deceptive tactics, including forged platform errors, false claims of "refundable verification fees," and hostile refusal of refund requests. Detailed Incident Narrative 1. Initial TikTok Contact & Downpayment Trap: On September 14, 2026, I communicated via TikTok with user account Cgregor_rihu regarding 3 tickets in Section 212 at PHP 3,250 each. Per instructions, I sent a 50% downpayment of PHP 4,875.00 to GCash account RODEL PERLAS (09561362400). Immediately following this payment, the Cgregor_rihu TikTok account was suspended. 2. Secondary Account Switch & Demands for Full Payment: A secondary account, C.G Hayley, contacted me claiming to be the same seller. When I requested delivery of the first ticket, they refused, claiming individual transfers were impossible. They altered the offer to Section 410 tickets at PHP 4,500 each and demanded the remaining balance. On September 14, 2026, I paid a second installment of PHP 4,875.00 to GCash account ANTHONY RONDINA (09560277688). 3. Transition to iMessage & Third Payment: Communication shifted from social media to iMessage with hayratli@oegmail.com. On September 15, 2026, at 4:27 PM, I remitted PHP 3,750.00 via PSBank InstaPay to GCash account Bobby Josh Alberto (09561346919) to complete the agreed ticket price. 4. Fabricated Errors & Extortion of "Verification Fee": After receiving PHP 13,500.00, the seller sent a forged screenshot displaying an "SMTP Error." The seller falsely claimed that an additional "refundable step-by-step verification fee" of $31 USD (approx. PHP 2,000) was mandatory to clear the transfer. On September 15, 2026, at 8:11 PM, I sent PHP 1,950.00 via GCash to recipient RE***O J** R. (09561346894). 5. Secondary Extortion & Final Escalation: Following the fourth payment, the suspect generated a second fake notice claiming the tickets were on "Hold" pending another $63.14 "Authorization Fee." The notice contained template markers ("SENDERNAME", "TAMMY"). When I refused to send more money, identified the fees as fake, and demanded a refund, the suspect aggressively refused ("Not possible at all"), attempted gaslighting tactics ("Are you stupid?", "You're so silky"), and severed communication.
