Scammers duped billionaires with fake tickets to access the USA House at Davos, where wealthy buyers hoped to gain access to Trump administration officials.

USA House organizers posted on the venue's website that so-called VIP tickets being sold online were fraudulent, according to Bloomberg.

“Caveat Billionaires, It has been brought to our attention that again this year external parties are selling ‘VIP access to USA House’ and other Stromback Global venues in Davos,” the post said. “Volume of inbound queries this year suggests that these fake VIP passes may be the fastest selling fiction about Davos since Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain.” The post continued, offering "our sympathies to those who fell victim to these scams."
