More than 100 people in Adelaide had their New Year’s Eve fizzle out after they bought tickets to a yacht party that turned out to be a complete scam.
Duped revellers paid $130 each for entry onto the boat which claimed it would include unlimited drinks and food, DJs and an idyllic vantage point to watch the fireworks over Glenelg. Sounds too good to be true, right? That’s because it absolutely was.
Bloody hell, these scammers have likely gotten away with about $13,000 at this rate. Further proof that Glenelg holds sinister energies, if you ask me.
TikToker Cameron Chappell was one of the 150-odd people who was duped by the scammers and recounted his story in a video posted on New Year’s Day.
