Warmer temperatures mean an increase in scammers taking advantage of high-demand tickets for popular shows and festivals during the summer months.

According to the Better Business Bureau, fraudsters often create fake social media profiles or advertisements appearing to resell the tickets. However, those tickets are often nonexistent or counterfeited. Don O'Brien with the B-B-B says...

According to the Federal Trade Commission, nearly one in three people who reported fraud said they lost money.

Of those who reported scams, Americans lost nearly $2 billion in social media scams, with over $2 million alone going towards ticket scams.
