World Cup ticket warning as grim stats show how much scammers cost fans - The Mirror

With World Cup tickets, the scammers know you're excited and time's running out ΓÇö they'll flood you with "last chance" messages from fake sellers. Only buy from the official FIFA website or authorised sellers listed there; if a deal's elsewhere, it's almost certainly fake.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true ΓÇö that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.
