What is the "Fake Canal Zone Ticket and Tour Booking Sites" scam in Panama City?

Question

Accepted Answer

Fraudulent websites and social media pages mimic official Panama Canal Authority ticketing pages or well-known canal tour operators. Visitors who purchase tickets through these channels receive fake confirmation numbers and are turned away at the Miraflores Visitor Center or at Canal boat tour embarkation points. Purchase Miraflores Locks admission and Panama Canal transit tour tickets only through the official Panama Canal Authority website (pancanal.com) or the visitor center ticket desk on arrival. Cross-check that the URL shows the official domain before entering payment details.
