Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call that claims to be Ticketmaster or Ticketfly and then asks you to wire money for Burning Man tickets. That scenario shows how easily spoofed numbers can masquerade as reputable vendors. Victims report losing $800‑$1,600 after the fraudster, sometimes identified as “Rob,” uses a fake agent voice to confirm a transfer. The FBI routinely flags this pattern as an event‑ticket scam. Protect yourself by hanging up on unsolicited requests, verifying the caller through official websites, and never sending cash or gift cards. Report the number to your carrier and the FTC for further action.
