Two Taylor Swift fans have spoken out about their experience of losing money after being targeted by ticket scammers.The US megastar is set to embark on the UK leg of her Eras tour in June.A report by Lloyds bank last week found Swifties had lost an estimated £1m in scams ahead of the shows.Two fans told BBC Radio WM they had fallen victim, losing £1,200 between them despite carrying out research.
Gemma Moore, from Rubery, said she thought she was getting tickets on Facebook from a friend of a friend.But this turned out not to be the case, ultimately costing her £800.Despite conducting background checks and concluding the seller’s account looked genuine, it had in fact been hacked by a scammer.We had a conversation and sent the money then all of sudden we were blocked,” Gemma explained.She said the tickets were intended for her daughter’s 18th birthday.
A second fan, Amanda Beasley, from Stourbridge, said she had also fallen foul of bad actors.In a similar experience, she lost £400 trying to get tickets for her daughter’s 21st birthday.Ms Beasley told BBC Radio WM she had also conducted research, but soon discovered something was off after sending money through PayPal.When she complained to the seller, it quickly became clear what had happened.Amanda said: “They literally sent me a scripted message saying ‘hi’ and in brackets ‘her name’. They forgot to insert my name.”
When she complained to the seller, it quickly became clear what had happened.Amanda said: “They literally sent me a scripted message saying ‘hi’ and in brackets ‘her name’. They forgot to insert my name.”The mother added she was most distraught by the fact her daughter would not be able to see her idol.”I thought she was actually going to be able to go,” Ms Beasley said.
“It’s really upsetting that she’s missing out on that now. I wish I hadn’t told her we got the tickets.”
Buyer protectionThe Lloyds Bank report said more than 600 of its customers had come forward to report being scammed, with some losing as much as £1,000.PayPal said it was unable to comment on individual accounts without express written permission from the account holder.But the company explained it had a comprehensive buyer protection programme covering purchases that are not as they claim.

My daughter Olympia was so happy the day she held her little baby brother. She was thrilled to become a sister.”She’s navigating it. She loves it,” Williams shared. “Adira’s like a tiny little baby, so Olympia just calls her her little sis.”
According to Williams, Olympia “prayed for a sister,” so she’s been happy about how everything’s worked out.
Williams, however, admitted to feeling some trepidation before Adira was born.
I was worried. I was like, ‘OK, I don’t know if I can like anyone as much as I love Olympia,'” Williams shared. “I was really nervous about that. But I feel like it all worked out.”For more on Williams and Ohanian’s happy family, check out the video below.

So says Serena Williams at the start of a new trailer for ESPN‘s new docuseries, In the Arena: Serena Williams presented by Morgan Stanley. The network dropped a teaser today along with descriptions of the eight episodes that promise “an unprecedented look at the life and career” of the now-retired tennis legend who dominated the game for more than two decades alongside sister Venus Williams. The news comes just a few weeks after the world premiere of the first two episodes at Tribeca Festival in New York.
My dad, he got my sister out there, and then he started to say I was going to be better. I looked different. I played different. I was more emotional. I had muscle. I was something no one had ever seen before,” Serena continues in the clip. Her sister, Venus, then adds, “She really became a monster on the court in the most beautiful way.”
In the Arena will hit ESPN+ on July 10, the day before Serena Williams hosts The ESPYs. Directed by Gotham Chopra and co-directed by Lauren Fisher, In The Arena: Serena Williams is co-produced by ESPN, Religion of Sports, Tom Brady’s 199 Productions, and Williams and Caroline Currier’s Nine Two Six Prod♥s.
