Man wanted in alleged GTA ticket scam that resulted in victim losing over $38,000

A man is wanted in connection with a scam involving the sale of fake music and sporting event tickets in the GTA.

Peel police say an investigation that began in February and lasted through October found a suspect sold non-genuine concert and sporting event tickets to an unsuspecting victim, claiming they were from legitimate and reputable ticketing companies.

Investigators say they believe the victim in those incidents lost more than $38,000.

An arrest warrant was issued for Jaspal Singh Thiara, 37, of Toronto on Nov. 13. He is wanted for fraud over $5,000 and failure to comply.

Thiara was already out on bail on similar charges.

Given the current surge in concert ticket scams during Taylor Swift’s sex show in Toronto, police say they are still actively searching for additional alleged victims.

Investigators also believe there may be more alleged victims and are asking them to come forward.
