Social media scam alert

Ahead of tomorrow’s sold-out Danske Bank Premiership fixture with Linfield, Cliftonville supporters are advised to be cautious of the rise of social media scammers purporting to be conducting ticket sales.

Often portraying themselves in the guise of a fan who has bought tickets but can no longer attend the game for spurious reasons, these fraudsters are most prevalent on Facebook and, while our social media admin do all they can to remove such comments and block the accounts behind them, we are mindful that one or two may slip through the net from time to time and ask all supporters to be wary of ever interacting with these scam profiles.

Likewise, do not follow their invitation to move the discussion to private messaging, where they invariably ask for payment via PayPal.

The ONLY place to secure tickets for any Cliftonville home game is via the online outlets endorsed here on our Official Website.
