A Justin Bieber fan has a message for the woman who scammed her out of $400 for fake tickets to the pop star's concert: "Where Are U Now?"
The title of Bieber's 2015 single seems appropriate in this case, as Alexandra Wilson, of Whitby, wants to know if there's a way that she can get her money back.
Wilson, 18, recently graduated from a hairdressing program and her parents gave her money as a graduation gift.
Since she's a huge "Belieber," she went on Twitter to see if she could find any tickets for the star's concerts at the Air Canada Centre on Wednesday and Thursday.
After looking up the hashtag #PurposeTourToronto, she found a user with tickets and drove with her boyfriend to a Chapters at Square One in Mississauga to meet up with the seller.
Wilson handed a woman more than $400 for what she thought were two floor tickets.
"We looked at the tickets. I said, 'Why aren't you going?' And she said she was going to a funeral. I'm like, 'Oh, OK, I'm sorry.'"
Later, Wilson decided to call Ticketmaster to confirm the tickets under the order number. There were no tickets under that order.
"Then I noticed that the barcodes on both of the tickets were the same numbers," said Wilson, who added that they were print-at-home-style tickets. "I was literally crying in my car because I was in shock that this actually happened."
She contacted the seller by phone and arranged to meet again, but the woman never showed up.
Wilson contacted police, saying she wants to ensure other Bieber fans don't get swindled.
"Those situations where you're buying tickets from people online, through places like Kijiji or eBay or Twitter, you're going to want to do your homework," said Peel Regional Police Const. Rachel Gibbs. "A lot of times, that means meeting the seller at a place where you can actually have the tickets verified, like the venue itself."
