The girl said that she planned to go with her friend to a humorous show. When buying a ticket, she faced fraud on the Internet and lost about 20 thousand rubles.

Following the instructions, the northerner did not receive tickets, and a new acquaintance stopped responding to messages.

The total amount of damage was about 20 thousand rubles. A criminal case has been opened on this fact.
