Rumi said that his friends were cheated by ticket brokers who offered their services on social media.
His friends allegedly believed the broker because they had been persuaded.
“It seems like their (broker’s) portfolio is good. So, the majority of my friends are offered via Instagram when they are looking for tickets. “But when the transaction was over, it ran away,” he said.
Rumi said his friends had made a report to a police station in Jakarta.
Now, the registered report is said to be being processed by the police.
Police are investigating several cases related to fraudulent sales of Coldplay concert tickets. One of the cases was investigated by the Central Jakarta Metro Police who received reports of fraud regarding 400 tickets.
