Fake FIFA World Cup Offers Are Targeting Fans
Scammers are already using excitement around the 2026 FIFA World Cup to trick people with fake ticket sales, travel deals, giveaways, and lookalike websites. These scams may appear more convincing than usual and are designed to steal money, personal details, or account access.
Who Is at Risk
Anyone planning to buy World Cup tickets, book travel, enter promotions, or follow event updates online is at risk.
What to Watch For
Watch for messages or websites offering early ticket access, limited-time travel bargains, prize giveaways, or urgent payment requests that seem tied to the World Cup.
What to Do
Only use official FIFA, ticketing, travel, and payment websites you type in yourself, and do not click links from emails, texts, ads, or social posts about World Cup offers.
