Reminder for all buyers
Posting the below again as we continue to see scammers infiltrating people’s DM’s. Yesterday we also had someone send “tickets” via a link to a website called myticketshield dot com where the person had to enter their Ticketmaster credentials. They were also told to send a screenshot of their bank account to prove they had the money! Things are getting wild.
The below is a repost. Please read!
We continue to see scammers using banned accounts DM’ing people who post here looking for tickets.
To protect yourself:
- stick to verified sellers
- be cautious with unverified sellers
- make sure the seller comments on your post so you can see their flair, even if they are not verified you will at least know that they are not banned - if they refuse to comment or give an excuse, they are probably a scammer
- check the list of banned scammers in the pinned post on the main page
- ask the seller to go through a “middle man” - scammers will run
- accounts with years of history and lots of karma does not mean they are safe!
We are seeing the same scammers over and over. They are lurking here.
Please report any concerns to modmail, it helps us keep the community safe for everyone!
