Nafeza 2 world - The accommodation scam followed an increase in ticket fraud surrounding the Eras Tour.
One victim, Lee Murray, said he was tricked on Facebook when he tried to buy three tickets for himself and his daughters to see the pop icon at Wembley.
The father-of-six said he believed Swifties were specifically preyed upon.
"There is definitely a target on their heads just because the resale price of tickets," he said.
Mr Murray said the fraudsters told him that there was a problem with his bank. He never received the tickets and lost about £500.
The consumer group Which? advises ticket buyers to stick to official retailers, only enter official competitions, be alert to scammers on social media, avoid offers that seem too good to be true, and not to pay via bank transfer.
