Online Scams in Dublin

Fake Event Ticket & Pub Quiz Booking Scam

Scammers create convincing social media posts and websites advertising sold-out Dublin events — St. Patrick's Day pub crawls, Temple Bar music nights, or Guinness Storehouse priority-access tickets — at below-market prices. Payment is taken via bank transfer or PayPal Friends & Family, after which the seller becomes unreachable. Victims discover at the venue that no booking exists under their name.
