Ellesmere Port man admits selling fake Taylor Swift tickets
Jordan Moore conned people out of more than five thousand pounds
A 32-year-old man from Ellesmere Port has pleaded guilty to selling fake Taylor Swift concert tickets and defrauding seven people out of more than £5,000.
Jordan Moore appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday 13th February where he admitted seven counts of fraud by false representation.
The court heard that between November 2023 and March 2025, Moore targeted seven victims through online marketplaces.
Fake ticket sales
Five of the charges relate to the fraudulent sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets.
The tickets were advertised through Facebook and Gumtree.
Two further charges relate to the fraudulent sale of greyhound equipment.
In total, the victims lost more than £5,000.
Moore, of Reedville, Smithy Lane, Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port, was released on bail.
He is due to be sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Friday 27th March.
Police Constable Hindley, from Cheshire Police, said:
“I welcome the guilty plea entered by Moore and I hope that it provides some reassurance for his victims.
“While the internet now makes it much easier to sell items, unfortunately, as we’ve seen in this case, it also makes it easier for dishonest sellers to defraud victims.
“Moore was well aware that what he was doing was wrong, but he thought that he would be able to outsmart his victims and avoid justice.
“Thankfully, as a result of the information provided by the victims, and the evidence gathered by the team here at Cheshire Police, he was left with no option but to admit his guilt and will now be held accountable for his actions.”
