got scammed!!!!

hey.. writing this with a heavy heart, i got scammed :(

when the t!ckets came out i think late july i did not have sufficient money to buy them although i could save up and buy but at that time i was fully confused whether i should go or not. unfortunately the t!ckets gets sold out.

fast forward to november when i finally had enough money, i started getting ads on instagram for the t!ckets. i was hesitant at first because every had a very high price of the t!ckets. finally i decided to text someone for the prices and they were very reasonable and affordable. i was immediately sold. i asked my best friend who was accompanying me to the concert, I paid for her t!cket too. she (the person se!!ing) convinced me enough to trust her. my fault here that i did not ask for her details or anything. i blindly trusted her. i paid the amount and sent her screenshots of the payment. later in the evening she sends me an email that she got from bms conforming her t!ckets.

i texted her on 1st Jan regarding when the t!ckets would arrive. she replied immediately saying she will update me. day before yesterday i text her again of the same because i started seeing everyone receiving theirs so i got nervous. this morning i randomly decided to check my chats with her only to see “instagram user”. i have never felt so surprised. although there were red flags and i was not cautious enough it was still a shocker because somehow i trusted her… i tried contacting her through the email i had and through Instagram. there’s no other way now.

i have no idea what to do. just sitting here super sad and helpless. i bought t!ckets without telling my parents. i told them after buying it. they were okay with it.

if there’s anyone who can help me with this i would be really grateful but its pretty obvious nothing can be done here. seems like nor can i get my money back. i know im at fault here but i felt like i needed to come here and post..
