Concert ticket scams on Carousell and other second-hand platforms are on the rise. Please follow these simple rules to stay safe.

Safety rules:

  • Never provide your email to sellers – scammers use it to send phishing links.
  • Never leave Carousell / platform chat – “buyer protection” is often an excuse to direct you to fake websites.
  • Priority: face-to-face + cash payment – avoid cheque fraud and FPS risks.

If you are unsure or need support, please reach out to the following hotlines:

  • Police Anti-Scam Helpline: 18222
  • CEDARS WhatsApp: 8400 1334 / Call: 3917 2305
  • Caritas Family Service Crisis Line: 18288 (24-hour professional social worker support for crisis or trauma)
  • Caritas Financial Distress Counselling Hotline: 3161 0102 (24-hour registered social worker support)

Stay vigilant and share this with your friends.
