Hot concert tickets? Sold out sporting events? We know you want to be there. But beware of those too-good-to-be-true ticket deals online. Scammers love to prey on eager fans.
They create fake websites or post on social media pretending to sell tickets at a fraction of the price. Once you pay, you never receive the tickets, and you might even lose your money.
To protect yourself from ticket scams:
- Stick to Reputable Sellers: Buy tickets from official sources or trusted ticket marketplaces.
- Beware of Social Media Scams: Be cautious of ticket offers on social media platforms. Verify the seller’s legitimacy before proceeding.
- Check for Secure Websites: Look for the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar before entering payment information.
- Use Credit Cards: Credit cards offer more protection against fraud than debit cards.
- Don’t Click Suspicious Links: Avoid clicking on links in emails or text messages that promise cheap tickets.
Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Protect yourself and your money by being cautious when buying tickets online.
