Misleading Something odd going on

I’m getting a bunch of clips on social media all of a sudden saying they have tickets they can’t use and to text them if you’re interested. Most have a 302 area code, which is Delaware. The videos are hashtagged for everything under the sun Bengals related. Just putting this out there so people don’t get scammed. I’ve seen different ones on Facebook Reels and TikTok. This is the first time I’ve seen a scam like this.

yeah unfortunately that's just all a major scam. i had one of my friends get scammed for a concert ticket that ended up not being real, and they fell for one of these traps. if anyone reading this sees anything like that go across your feeds, don't fall for it!

Weirdly, it’s the “Paycor Stadium” part that immediately flags this as a scam for me.

This happens every year. It’s clearly a scam and anyone who falls for it has no brain and shouldn’t be on social media.

Agree. There are 101 secure ways to get tickets if you wanna go to a game. Texting a random "person" from a tiktok video to get conveniently cheap tickets is so obvious. Someone naive enough to fall for it probably needs to learn some life lessons
