Dubai Police have issued a warning to residents regarding a significant increase in fake ticket scams ahead of major concerts and travel events. Scammers exploit people’s urgency and fear of missing out by selling counterfeit tickets online and through social media platforms.
Many victims have reported financial losses after purchasing fraudulent tickets for concerts, sports events, and travel. To help protect against these scams, authorities advise residents to follow these guidelines:
- Purchase tickets only from official and trusted sources.
- Be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true.
- Report any suspicious activity or sellers to the police immediately.
The Dubai Police are actively investigating these scams and emphasize the importance of public awareness to protect individuals from falling victim to these criminal schemes. As the number of concerts and sports events scheduled in the city increases, so does the risk of encountering fraudulent ticket sales.
Authorities continue to implement preventive measures and educate the public to effectively combat these fraudulent activities. Residents are strongly urged to stay informed, verify ticket sellers carefully before making any purchase, and remain vigilant during the festive season and upcoming events in Dubai.
