How Fraudsters Are Stealing Millions
Recently, fraudsters have turned their sights on events and are stealing millions of dollars from event organizers just like you. If your event hasn't been a victim yet, sadly it's probably only a matter of time. Here's what the fraudsters are doing:
1. Fraudsters Obtain Stolen Credit Card Numbers
The first step for the fraudsters if obtaining valid credit card numbers from victims who don't know they are victimized yet. They act fast because they know the credit cards will be canceled soon.
2. Fraudsters Buy Tickets with Stolen Credit Cards
With a bank of valid credit cards, fraudsters are looking for events to buy tickets. They will reserve many tickets, often high value tickets and experiences. They reserve tickets for events occurring within the next couple of days.
3. Fraudsters Quickly Resell Tickets Online To Unsuspecting Buyers
Immediately after purchase fraudsters will list their newly bought tickets for a steep discount on places like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and anywhere else they can find secondary buyers. They usually sell the tickets for cash or some other method that has no recourse.
4. The New Ticket Owners Attend Your Event
Innocent secondary market buyers attend your event that they got for a nice discount. They present their valid ticket for entry and enjoy your event.
5. Stolen Card Holders Fight Charges
After some days or weeks, the victims of the stolen credit cards realize they have been victimized and fight the credit card charges for your event by issuing a chargeback. They were never involved in purchasing the tickets nor attending.
6. Event Organizers Lose Event Revenue and Pay Costly Chargebacks
Because of credit card laws, credit card companies immediately refund the cardholders who were victimized even though the ticket used. Not only do events lose the ticketing revenue for attendees who attended the event, they incur massive fees associated with chargebacks.
