Police make arrest in Taylor Swift fraudulent ticket scam probe
The accused, using the Facebook Marketplace alias “Denise Blackhawk,” provided tickets for the Swift's Toronto concerts. While dealing with the victims, the accused after deciding a price offered different date options and seat locations for the concerts. But the accused informed the victims that the tickets wouldn't be released until days before the concert.
However, the victims discovered on the day of the concert that the tickets hadn't been transferred to their accounts. When they asked for the refund, according to Toronto Police, the accused claimed that the “money was gone.”
As per police press release, as many as 28 victims paid for fictitious tickets totaling around $70,000.
Moreover, the accused has been identified as Burlington resident Denise Tisor, who is accused of over $5,000 in fraud, ownership of over $5,000 in Property Acquired via Crime, 32 charges of fraud under $5,000 and 32 counts of obtaining property through criminal activity for less than $5,000.
She is expected to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice on January 10, 2025.
