Fake concert announcements have emerged on social media, stating that popular artistes like Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran will be coming to Malaysia this year
After Coldplay pre-ticket sales went live yesterday, 16 May, a gazillion people on social media posted about trying to buy them.
The concert's different seat categories were trending on Twitter, and tickets quickly ran out, as this is the first time the popular British band will be performing in Malaysia.
However, not long after, fake news about other upcoming concerts started circulating on social media
Here are a couple of screenshots of scam announcements that Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5 will be performing in KL in September:
Ticket2U is an online ticketing and event management platform that sells and manages concert tickets. They previously sold tickets to Ed Sheeran's concert in KL back in 2019.
According to Ticket2U, the scammers are using LiveTicket2U to impersonate them. The company has since lodged a police report.
At the time of writing, there are no announcements of Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran coming to KL this year on the ticketing website. The artistes themselves have also not made any official announcements.
Whether or not it's manifesting that more artistes will come to KL this year, just take note and don't kena scam ya?
A message for you scammers:
