Voronezh residents warned about fraudsters selling fake tickets for New Year events

Before the New Year in Voronezh, scammers who earn on the sale of non-existent tickets for festive performances, performances and exhibitions intensified. Buyers are promised the best seats and the best prices, but after payment they receive an invalid QR code or are left with nothing. This was told to residents on the portal “Explain.RF”.

To deceive, attackers create sites-copies of famous ticket platforms: place recognizable logos and publish reviews, as if left by buyers. You can recognize a fake on several grounds. The lack of any information on the site should be alerted, except for the offer to buy tickets. The absence of telephones, legal details, offer and privacy policy should also be suspected.

In addition, the unreliability of the resource can be indicated by communication only through messengers or public mail services, the requirement to transfer money to a third party or an individual, as well as incorrect dates for updating information or their complete absence.

Experts remind: even the first line in the search results does not guarantee the security of the site. It is better to buy tickets on long-established sites with a secure connection. You can check the resource for maliciousness using free online services, and complain about the phishing site through the portal "State Services".
