Paid for a 'skip the line' pass in Rome and it was a total scam

I was at the Colosseum last fall and a guy in a vest sold me a ticket for 50 euros, saying it would get me past the main queue. Turns out it was just a regular entry ticket you could buy online for 24 euros. The line he 'skipped' me past was for security, which everyone has to go through anyway. Has anyone else run into these fake fast pass sellers in Europe?

Wait, he charged you 50 euros for a 24 euro ticket?

Always buy tickets from the official website or a real ticket office. Those guys in vests are just scammers reselling basic tickets for double.

But what if you're desperate to get in?
