'They are still messaging people trying to sell non-existent tickets and posting old pictures pretending it's me posting them'
A nurse says her social media accounts have been hacked by scammers trying to sell non-existent Oasis tickets. Adriana Murty, 32, claims at least one of her friends has fallen for the cruel con - handing over hundreds of pounds and divulging personal information about a family tragedy believing it to be genuine.
Adriana, from Didsbury, says she has contacted both Facebook and Instagram to report what has happened, but believes scammers may try to target others to extract money for tickets that don't exist. Her Facebook page has been cancelled, but her Instagram account is still active and being run by the fraudsters, she says.
There have been numerous reports in Greater Manchester Facebook groups of scammers using Facebook and other social media sites to sell Oasis tickets that aren't real, with users also sharing warnings never to hand over money. "I'm afraid many people may have been scammed by this as Oasis are a very popular band. I have reported it to Action Fraud and just want the Instagram account to be deleted, but they are still messaging people trying to sell non-existent tickets and posting old pictures pretending it's me posting them.
"I managed to get back into Facebook but when I logged in, they had made my profile public and posted into groups I was a member of years ago. These posts are being shared around.
