The mum was allegedly targeted by hackers who she says took over her Facebook account.
A Scots mum says she was "threatened" after her Facebook account was hacked and used to flog fake Oasis tickets.
A post was shared on her page advertising four Oasis tickets for the gig at Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday, August 9. Leanne said four people allegedly paid the hacker for these tickets. "People started threatening me about getting their tickets but I couldn't do anything about it because it wasn't me. It was really scary and frustrating really. Police were instantly made aware."
Leanne used the same passwords for all of her accounts, making it easy for the hackers to access her Facebook. She is certain the fraudsters stole her details when her son was connected to the internet in public places. Police Scotland Midlothian previously said: " Police Scotland are currently investigating the fraudulent sale of Oasis concert tickets over social media sites in Midlothian.
