Justin Bieber fans burned by phony tickets

Justin Bieber fans burned by phony tickets: No doubt about it: Elizabeth Green's daughter loves Justin Bieber.

"Big, huge Justin Bieber fan.  Posters galore," Green said.

To surprise her daughter, Kayden, for her eight birthday, Green turned to Craigslist for concert tickets.

"He offered them for a $150 each," Green said. "So $300 total, they're decent seats, I figured face value they're probably $80, $90 bucks, so he's just barely making a profit off of it."

Green admits she was a little suspicious when she met the man who identified himself as Michael Miller.  Miller's photo now appears on Craigslist, warning others to be aware.

Both tickets Miller offered to sell Green had the same bar code number.

"He said the Toyota Center puts the same barcode per transaction," Green said.  "Every question I had, he had a good answer for."

She later learned the seats she paid $300 for didn't exist.

"It was horrible," she said.  "I mean I was bawling.  What am I supposed to do for my daughter now?"

Turns out, Michael Miller, if that is really his name, sold fake tickets for Bieber's Dallas concert and also scammed at least four other people here.

"I'm more than just upset.  We're talking little girls here that are getting scammed," Green said.

"We do get complaints from consumers who are scammed by the classic ticket scam," Houston Better Business Bureau's Monica Russo said.

The BBB advises consumers to only purchase tickets through authorized ticket dealers and brokers and to avoid paying cash.

"Be very careful about the Craigslist site," Russo said. "While there may be legitimate tickets for sale on there, there's also a lot of scams floating around as well."

Green's daughter was so upset her mother got scammed; she took Bieber's posters off her bedroom wall, but she will be at tonight's concert.  Her mom spent another $200 for nosebleed seats.

"I would love to see him get arrested," Green said.
