<prompt> Human: Hi, I bought tickets to a music festival yesterday off someone from kijiji.ca and met up with him, and i believe they are fake. I began having suspicions after i bought the ticket when i realized if i pressed hard it, the letters kind of rub off and smear - which led me to scrutinize the tickets and I noticed other suspicious factors. So, i bought the ticket for 80 dollars and this is what it looks like And this is what my friends ticket looks like, which is for realRight away i noticed the design is different. But ill give him the benefit of the doubt because he said he works for the mall and they gave him some to sell. I also met him at the mall where the event is being held. Here are my clues:1. It gets suspicious when i press hard and some of the letter smudges off. Notice how the E is kind of smearing2. And the colors look like they were printed off a home printer because theyre not that vibrant3. Comparing the barcode from my friends tickets, mine look too simple as a barcode4. Also, notice how the letters are kind of blurryzigzagged as if its may not be the original high quality copy This event is being held in a mall waterpark, so they also sell tickets to just going to the waterpark on a regular day and they have the same design as my friends tickets. Also the Wem logo is missing on mine I also contacted the mall to see if they could verify the tickets but they said they couldnt as it can only be scanned the day off. But they did tell me that they should be a similar size to the regular waterpark passes. Mine is definitely smaller 6x2, while the regular tickets are like 7x2.5. Im certain I got scammed there is no doubt about it. I definitely have learned my lesson from buying off the third party, and accept the defeat if i lost my money, but I would still like to try and maybe get my money back if i can. Before I departed, he said if my friends need any tickets just hit him up. So, i texted him again asking for more tickets, and another clue is, its weird how he said he has a bunch of tickets left. I was thinking of meeting him with a friend and pretend to buy the tickets but confront him and ask for a refund or Ill contact the police. Is there anything else I should do?Thank you for the help!  <response>: First, delete your photos and post ones with the bar codes covered up.It could potentially be a duplicated ticket. This means the bar code would be good, but the ticket is still fraudulent. First one to the event wins.Its sad that the mall had no interest in investigating potentially bad tickets. You might try contacting the police department and see if theyd like to setup a sting operation since you still have a way to contact the guy.You might not get your money back, but could get some satisfaction in seeing this guy get arrested.
