SINGAPORE: Two pop music fans who had their hearts set on watching their favourite artists perform live ended up losing nearly S$1,500 (RM5,309) to online conmen.

In January, Nanyang Polytechnic student Sandra (not her real name) armed herself with four devices – a phone, an iPad and 2 laptops – to make sure she would get her hands on tickets for Bruno Mars, ahead of his concert in April.
