then receive an email from eventim@ticketsend.de

The URL “ticketsend.de” has absolutely nothing to do with Eventim.

Can you fake such an email with invoice and ticket download at all?

Sure. Take someone with Photoshop in a few minutes. With AI even in seconds.

you didn’t really pay them by PayPal “Friends”.

Unfortunately,

By paying via family and friends you also have Self also criminal made.

We have two criminal acts of fraud:

  1. Fraud of the seller to you
  2. Community fraud from you and the seller to PayPal

By pretending false facts (you and the seller would be friends and family, which is not true) you have damaged the fortune of PayPal by paying a fee and thus § 263 StGB is fulfilled.

PayPal may also ban you forever for violation of the Terms of Use. Banks don’t like it at all if you cheat on them as you did (together with the seller).

What can I do to get my money back?

To get your money back, you have to civil law by the seller sue, with all the courtscost pre-accession and if there’s nothing to get at the end of the scam, still sit at these costs.

can give me tips on what to do now or how to avoid this in the future?

Never pay for family and friends to strangers. It doesn’t mean that for free. Strangers from the internet are not your family or friends.

Never pay by bank transfer in advance.

The safest way for both sides on classifieds, Vinted & Co. is and remains Cash payment against collection.

You have to decide. I.d.R. does not refund PayPal any further ad, because the charge fraud is low and also the police are following m.W.n. that is not. The other fraud has been done with much more criminal energy. So you can report. But the ad doesn’t bring your money back, but in case of doubt it only provides for a criminal conviction. You still have to file your money civil law to get it.

then on “Technical Data”…

then you know that you’ve been cheated and probably have little chance of “something”.

Sorry for the “bad news”

I would suspect that this email address you mentioned above did not belong to Eventim

You can write the money.

  1. @ticketsend.de is already a clear indication. The domain of Eventim is always Eventim.de
  2. If you buy something about classifieds, you’ll get it from the seller. Eventim doesn’t know if anyone sells tickets via classifieds. You wouldn’t get anything from Eventim in such a case
  3. Why should Eventim issue an invoice if you pay someone else at classifieds

That was a really plump amount. I’m sorry to have to say that you were very naive.

Fakens can be. But usually, the scams don’t get so much effort. Just call the eventim service tomorrow.

In case of doubt, not at all. I don’t suppose you have the real contact details of the seller? So, of course, you should report it to classifieds and also make an ad to the police (this goes online), but the prospects for success are not very big.
