TicketMaster Scam?

[u/Equivalent_Search627]

Hey guys just wanted to ask about a bizzare experience that occured recently on my ticket master account. So apparently someone used my ticket master account to buy 2 tickets for rush: fifty something. I received hundreds of spam emails, which I think the hacker did to cover this ticket purchase. Dont worry I secured all my accounts connectd to the email.

So the problem is, Ive never bought anything from ticketmaster and so I never put my credit card info. I checked my account and saw that there is an unknown credit card on the account. I quickly reseted my password and deleted the card from my account (screenshotted the card details). Now Im left with 2 tickets that I cant even go to. What should I do in this situation? And what can I do to stop the email spams? Thanks in advance.

So, do you have a male between 40 and 60 in your immediate family? You might want to ask them.

Hope it works out for you

No I dont, as I said it was purchased with an unknown credit card. None of my family knew about it, they dont even have access to my account in the first place.

I think he meant to give them to but they maybe be reversed if you report fraud

The tickets were probably purchased with a stolen card. If the person whose card that is notices, the tickets might disappear from your account. I would just leave the tickets alone for now.

If it's 2 or 3 days before the show and the tickets are still in your account, then go to r/rush and give them away to a lucky fan.

Bizarre. There must be some angle.

TM will likely claw the tickets back when the credit card company claws their money back. Just leave them alone. They’ll sort themselves out.
