The Judiciary Police (PJ) has issued a warning about a new online scam exploiting the upcoming gala event, “Our Pride! – Meeting with the National Olympic Athletes Delegation in Macau,” scheduled to take place at the East Asian Games Dome on Sept. 1.
According to the PJ, a new fraudulent scheme that offers tickets for this event has emerged.
The PJ has reminded the public tickets for the gala event are distributed free of charge by the Sports Bureau solely through the official channels.
Police urged the public to avoid scams involving the sale of tickets from unknown sources.
They also reminded citizens these tickets are non-transferable and cannot be sold, exchanged, or transferred to anyone other than the original recipient, who obtained the ticket through the official lucky draw system.
Fraud and unlawful sales of event tickets is common in Macau, especially during major local organized events.
