Exercise Caution with Social Media “Deals”
Beware of enticingly low prices for event tickets advertised on social media platforms. While the offer may seem like a great deal, scammers frequently use these low prices to lure unsuspecting buyers into their traps. -
Purchase Tickets from Trusted Vendors
When official sources are sold out, opt for well-known online ticket brokers or authorized resellers. While these tickets may come at a higher cost, you can be confident that your purchase is legitimate and that you will receive valid tickets for the event. -
Verify the Seller's Identity
Be vigilant against scammers who hack into accounts and pose as acquaintances selling tickets. Before sending any money, independently verify the seller's identity. Contact your friend directly through trusted means to confirm that the tickets are genuine. -
Avoid Rushed Decisions
Scammers often employ pressure tactics to prompt quick decisions from buyers. If you feel rushed or pressured to purchase tickets immediately, take a step back. Decisions made under duress are more likely to result in falling victim to a scam.
