Scammers, you need to calm down.

Here’s what you can do to protect yourself.
Ticket seekers should be aware of scammers setting up fake websites and social media posts claiming to be local residents looking to resell tickets; and encouraging fans to buy tickets by paying through Zelle, Venmo or other peer-to-peer digital payment apps, according to the Better Business Bureau.
