was contacted by an individual who claimed to be selling tickets and requested payment through Zelle. The individual instructed me to send a partial payment upfront. After I sent the initial amount, the individual refused to provide the promised tickets and instead demanded additional payment. When I hesitated and questioned the situation, the individual began threatening me and my family, creating fear and pressure to continue sending money. Due to these threats, I felt coerced into complying. After payment was sent, the individual stopped cooperating and never delivered the promised product.
