BOUNTIFUL, Utah β€” Scammers are taking advantage of the Taylor Swift frenzy, hacking Facebook accounts and attempting to sell fake concert tickets. Bountiful resident Morgan Treft said after buying tickets through a third party for the pop star's Seattle concert, she did not think twice about buying tickets from a person posting on a local Facebook group. She started messaging the person via Facebook Messenger. 'I found this, you know, what I suppose was a local person that was selling their tickets and I said, β€˜Hey what do you want for your tickets?' and he told me the price,' Treft said.
