July Concert: Beware of New Ticket Scam Site Popping Up Daily

Since tickets for Jul's concert at the Stade de France and the velodrome went on sale, fake scam sites have multiplied to trap the rapper's fans.

The event was expected to attract scammers. On April 17, 150,000 tickets for the rapper Jul's concerts at the Stade de France and the Vélodrome were sold out in less than an hour. Now that both shows are sold out, scammers have launched fake ticket sales to trap desperate fans.

Nicolas Pawlak, founder of Red Flag Domains, a malicious domain name monitoring platform, noted in a LinkedIn post that “ since the start of the week, at least one fake site per day has been launched for Jul concert tickets “. The cyber expert shared several fraudulent pages with us. Hackers took over domain names with Jul’s name, such as “ concertjul(.)com “, ” concertjul(.)fr “, ” concert2jul(.)fr “.

The fake sites pose as ticket sales platforms and offer different ticket categories for the concert. Some borrow the aesthetics of event companies such as “ Ticketmaster » by claiming to sell tickets for several shows.

Scammers, driven by attention to detail, have gone so far as to sell out certain categories of places. The scam is quite classic, since the victim will simply pay for the ticket online and the site will disappear in a few days.

As a reminder, the ticket office on the Stade de France or Vélodrome website is already full. Only a few VIP boxes are still available. So don’t go looking for miracle places on pages such as “ concert-jul ” Or ” ticket master “.
