Man buys N1.3 million fake flight ticket to travel from Lagos to Toronto Canada
A fraudulent travel agent sold the ticket to him at the cost of N1.3 million and assured him of the originality.
But the man discovered to his greatest dismay, that he could not board the aeroplane because he had paid through the wrong channel.
He would have to go back and have his journey planned again since his move to Canada was scuttled by the fake agent.
Grandma Shasha said while sharing the story on Tiktok:
“It's a Barbie world indeed! The rise and rise of travel scams is bewildering, this agent provided a man with a ticket that doesn't exist after collecting 1.3 million. So he has to wait and book another ticket.”
