rs tickets can be transferred through the MLB Ballpark app.

Consumers should also verify website addresses before entering payment information and watch for misspelled or lookalike domains designed to imitate legitimate ticketing websites.

DATCP recommends enabling multifactor authentication on ticketing and email accounts for additional security.

Other warning signs include prices dramatically below market value, sellers creating pressure to pay immediately and ticket offers through social media or classified advertisements.

DATCP said scammers may also compromise legitimate social media accounts and use them to appear as though a friend or acquaintance is selling tickets. If someone you know appears to be selling tickets online, officials recommend contacting that person directly through another method to confirm the offer is legitimate.

Consumers should avoid paying unfamiliar sellers with cash, debit cards, wire transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency or peer-to-peer payment services such as Cash App or Venmo, according to DATCP.

Anyone who believes they were scammed should contact the ticket-selling platform and their credit card provider or financial institution as soon as possible.

Consumers can also file a complaint with the DATCP Bureau of Consumer Protection at ConsumerProtection.wi.gov or by calling the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128.

Victims are also encouraged to report suspected fraud to their local law enforcement agency.
