"Toronto police are asking fans to watch for red flags, including when they see prices that seem too good to be true or when sellers pressure people to make a purchase quickly. Fraudsters may pose as legitimate ticket sellers on social media, classified websites, or fake ticketing platforms, offering tickets that are counterfeit, duplicated, or simply non-existent," police said in a news release Wednesday. "Once payment is made, the seller often disappears, leaving fans without tickets and out of money."
"Police are also warning fans about unverified links shared over social media or email and requests for payment via e-transfer, cryptocurrency or gift cards, making funds difficult to trace. Fans are advised to always use a credit card as it offers more protection to dispute fraudulent charges, police said. Ticket purchasers should also buy them from trusted sources only using the Blue Jays' official website or authorized ticket partners such as MLB.com or Ticketmaster, police said."
