Police warn of online ticket scam
Posted: 06 June 2012 1657 hrs
SINGAPORE: An online scam touting cheap Universal Studios Singapore tickets is making its rounds on the Internet.
Police received several reports in May where victims were cheated of their money.
The victims had transferred money to unknown individuals for heavily discounted Universal Studios Singapore tickets.
They only realised that they had been cheated when they did not receive their tickets.
One 41-year-old woman lost S$500.
She saw an online offer for seven tickets going at S$380.
She paid S$500 to a stranger to buy 10 tickets, but the deal did not materialise.
Resorts World Sentosa said there are reports of 11 of such cases.
Police said those who have similar encounters can call the Police hotline at 1800 - 255 0000 or '999' if urgent Police assistance is required.
Police and Resorts World Sentosa have advised guests to purchase tickets to Universal Studios Singapore either at the on-site ticketing booths or through its official website, to ensure that the tickets purchased are bona fide.
