If you thought you had landed a chance to meet Travis Barker of Blink-182, how excited would you be? Do you think you’d be excited enough to crash your car through a gated fence?
Likely not, but that said, one fan who was scammed into thinking she was meeting Barker did just that.
As reported by TMZ, a woman was tricked by a scammer claiming to be the Blink-182 drummer; this scammer offered for the woman to visit them at their “home” (in this case, the home of Travis Barker).
The woman drove to Barker’s neighborhood, but upon trying to enter the gated community where Barker lives, she was turned away multiple times.
Then, on her fifth attempt to get in, the woman decided to crash her car through the gates.
Eventually, the woman was stopped by Barker’s security and then was later arrested for trespassing.
That is some absolutely wild shit – to think that someone would be so dedicated to meeting a celebrity that they would crash their own car through locked gates… damn.
