Recent data shows a surge in ticket scams in Ireland as fans anticipate crucial Six Nations matches. Malcolm Craig of Revolut highlights that fraudsters exploit the high demand for tickets, especially among the 25-34 age group, urging consumers to be cautious. Typical scam tactics include selling tickets at unrealistic prices and pressuring buyers, with scams frequently appearing on social media platforms. Revolut stresses the importance of purchasing from trusted sources to protect against fraud. The rise in scams coincides with heightened excitement around potential Championship outcomes for Irish rugby fans.
"Sadly, fraudsters capitalise on the scarcity and demand for these events, particularly ahead of Championship-defining matches such as this weekend's."
"We urge customers not to panic-buy or fall for offers that are too good to be true."
