Sounds like she tried purchasing from the Facebook Marketplace platform. A lot of people buy and sell items on the platform because the platform doesn't charge a fee. Most sellers are legit but it's also an attractive place for scammers to operate.

It’s a damn shame, but the only thing worse than paying for and not receiving the tickets would be this. Receiving the tickets and then expending time and money to show up for the game, and find out that you can’t get in because their counterfeit. That happened to a friend of mine a few years ago for a Georgia/Florida game in Jacksonville. He’s still pissed, smarter now, but still pissed.

It's easier to counterfeit hard copy tickets than electronic ones. That's why most all event tickets are electronic today.
