How to Spot a Potential Scammer
To help you identify potential scammers when purchasing tickets to the CALDAC convention, here are some key warning signs to watch out for:
1. Unusually Low Prices: If someone is offering tickets at a price significantly lower than what’s advertised on our official site, it’s likely a scam.
2. Pressure to Buy Quickly: Scammers often create a false sense of urgency, pushing you to make a quick decision. If someone is rushing you, take a step back.
3. Unverified Sellers: Always be cautious of individuals selling tickets on social media, online marketplaces, or other unofficial platforms.
4. No Proof of Purchase: If the seller cannot provide a receipt, confirmation email, or other proof of their purchase, it's a red flag.
5. Suspicious Payment Methods: Be wary if the seller requests payment through methods that offer little protection, such as wire transfers, gift cards, or peer-to-peer apps like Venmo or Cash App.
6. Inconsistent or Vague Information: If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide clear details about the tickets (such as the seat location, event date, etc.), they might be a scammer.
7. Unprofessional Communication: Poor grammar, unusual email addresses, or overly casual communication may indicate a scammer.
8. Too Good to Be True: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Trust your instincts.
