World Series ticket scams: Tampa Bay Rays fans warned of fake postseason passes
World Series fever is sweeping across Tampa Bay, but surging ticket prices are driving desperate fans straight into high-tech traps, according to consumer protection officials. Consumer protection officials in Tampa Bay have warned of fraudulent postseason ticket scams, particularly among Tampa Bay Rays fans. Tickets for standing-room-only tickets on the Rays official team website run around $470, while upper-deck seats rise past $600 and lower-level seating near $800. The Better Business Bureau noted that fraudsters are now using artificial intelligence to clone legitimate ticket platforms and social media accounts without obvious warning signs. The agency also highlighted several warning signs consumers must watch out for when shopping. Buyers should always complete transactions using a credit card on verified platforms to maintain built-in fraud protection.
