Online Scams in Skopje

Fake Event Ticket Sales Online

Fraudulent sellers on social media and local Macedonian classified sites (Pazar3) advertise tickets to sold-out concerts, festivals, and sporting events in Skopje at prices slightly below face value. The tickets are either counterfeit, screenshots of used tickets, or codes that have already been redeemed. Buyers discover the fraud only at the venue entrance. Skopje has a growing live events scene and ticket shortages for popular events create demand that scammers exploit.
