Avoiding Loan Impersonation and Ticket Scams

Fraudsters may impersonate a lender or ticket seller and push you to act before you can check the details. A quick independent review can help you avoid losing money or exposing personal information.

Check loan offers carefully

Verify the lender and its contact details through an independent, official source.
Be cautious of guaranteed approval or an upfront payment required to release a loan.
Read the full written terms and do not provide false information on an application.
Protect identity documents and account credentials from unsolicited contacts.

Verify event tickets and sellers

Use a venue, organizer, or ticket marketplace’s official site to confirm the event and seller. Review the payment method and buyer protections before paying. Be cautious when a seller pressures you to move off-platform or use gift cards, cryptocurrency, or a wire transfer.

Respond promptly to a concern

If you sent money or shared information, contact your financial institution or payment provider through an official channel. Save messages and transaction records and report suspected fraud to the appropriate authorities.
