What is the "Unlicensed Tour Operator and Ticket Reseller" scam in Portland?

Question

Accepted Answer

Individuals outside popular attractions like OMSI and the Portland Japanese Garden sell tour packages, entry tickets, or skip-the-line passes that are counterfeit, expired, or non-existent. The seller collects cash or Venmo payment and disappears before the tourist reaches the venue. Buy tickets only through official venue websites or at the box office directly. Be skeptical of anyone approaching you outside an attraction offering discounted entry.
