In advance of tonight's FIFA Women's World Cup semi-final, Matildas supporters are advised to be on the lookout for Scammers.

The National Anti-Scam Centre has issued the alert following initial reports of scams involving fake match live stream links and phoney ticket sales that target Matilda fans on social media.

“Understandably, Australians are inspired by the phenomenal success of the Matildas, but fans should be very careful when last-minute ticket shopping for hugely popular events such as the World Cup finals,” ACCC Deputy Chair Catriona Lowe said.

“We are already seeing initial reports of scam activity, particularly on Facebook, where scammers are responding to posts from people looking for tickets and using compromised accounts to sell non-existent tickets.”

“There have also been reports of scammers claiming there is a problem with the payment and asking for it to be made again,” Ms Lowe added.

The National Anti-Scam Centre has received reports of scammer activity on social media linking to purported live-streams of sporting events, including FIFA Women's World Cup matches, in addition to ticket sale scams.

“This is a relatively new scam that has been circulating on social media, where would-be spectators are prompted to click a link and enter their credit cards details to subscribe to the live-streaming service,” Ms Lowe said.

“In most cases, scammers steal the credit card details and fail to deliver the content signed up for.”

How ticket sale scams work

• Scammers either post or directly contact consumers, usually via social media, to say they have tickets available for sale. Often, they will send a screenshot showing fake proof of ticket ownership.

• Scammers may also respond to posts from people looking to buy tickets to a major event.

The ACCC advises consumers to only purchase tickets from verified vendors and not from any website whose address begins with the letters http: — they should only believe secure websites that start with the letters https:.
