Fake ticket
This is fake isn't it? https://i.imgur.com/hG1QeYz.jpg
(I'm not quite clear what the scam is but basically this was sent by supposed American male to Indonesian female. )
I removed the name & booking reference but it looks photoshopped otherwise?

Looks nothing like the current online automatically issues E-Tickets but it says it was issued by emirates UK and that may be a different format due to different system.
On my phone no but can look up the fare construction and base fare on EF later. The information is all pretty much the same as current tickets, but I also note the ticket number beginning 173 and EK is 176. Can't you out the booking ref and name into MMB and see?

Airline code 173 doesn't exist. Emirates is 176.
Emirates logo looks old. Currently the Expo 2020 logo is usually attached.
Moreover, I would expect texts to be aligned.
Definitively a fake.
Out of curiosity. Why the man sent a fake e-ticket ? A behind the counter sale ?

I'm not quite clear what the scam is, whether he thinks he can get money, or if he just wants to trick the women for fun (this ticket is to Bali, she is in Medan), or to meet under false pretences to try and get sex, I don't know.

Yeah plus someone else mentioned fare construction referring to Toronto, indicating this might've been a Canadian issued ticket that was photoshopped, since North America has the piece concept
