Online E – ticket Scam
Police have charged a Hamilton Ontario man after upwards of 30 people were duped into buying fake tickets online.
The charges come after a search of an east Hamilton home yesterday.
Police say between April and July, the accused set up email accounts and sold tickets on a buy and sell website using the following aliases: Jacob Wilson, Jacob Wilcox and Josh Kovecks.
Investigators say the man received online payments and then emailed out fraudulent e-tickets to victims.
An 18-year-old is charged with 2 counts of fraud under 5 thousand dollars and 3 counts of uttering forged documents.
When will people learn that you will always get caught.
