A Royal fan has been scammed 3,000 euros after trying to buy fake tickets for the King's Cup final

A Donostiarra based in the United States has reported the loss of 3,000 euros after being the victim of a fraud by purchasing the alleged tickets for the Copa del Rey final that will be played in Seville on 18 April between the Real Sociedad and the Atlético de Madrid, according to the Guardia Civil.

The armed institute has released the case on social media this Friday and warned of the fraudulent sale of seats for that meeting, which the Ertzaintza had previously issued.

According to the complaint, the injured party bought tickets from someone representing another person's identity. The seller told him an "elaborate story" to justify that he could not receive the payment through the platform and persuaded the buyer to make a direct transfer.

In the face of this type of fraud, the Civil Guard and the Ertzaintza have recommended the purchase of tickets exclusively through official channels and, in case of doubt, contact the Royal Society or the Royal Spanish Football Federation.

For the final, Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid will have the same number of tickets, 25,680 each, of which 85% will be for partners.
