Ticket Fraud – Take Five Guidance

OWL

Dear Watch Member,

Looking for tickets?

Criminals create fake posts or pages on social media and search engines to scam people looking for tickets or travel deals.

Follow #TakeFive’s top tips to avoid ticket fraud:

– Read online reviews from reputable sources to check websites are genuine.

– Only use the secure payment method recommended by reputable online retailers – avoid paying by bank transfer.

– If possible, use a credit card when making purchases over £100 as you may get extra protection.

Contact your bank immediately if you think you’ve been scammed and report it to Action Fraud: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/
