Ingram Publishing/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — If you’re trying to see a concert — or a game — that’s sold out, be careful. Scammers are getting better and better at making fake tickets.
Capt. Shaun Mathers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office says new technology is a scammer’s dream.
“It’s fairly easy for someone to generate something that looks very close to the original,” he says.
So make sure you buy tickets from a trusted source — one that offers a guarantee. If you don’t, and you show up at a sold-out show with a bogus ticket, it’s not the venue’s fault and there’s not much they can do.
