A spike is expected as music festival season approaches.
Midlands music fans are being warned about a spike in online ticket scams.
It comes as fans gear up to see Dua Lipa play the Aviva Stadium tonight, and festivals like Electric Picnic, Longitude and All Together Now get underway in the coming months.
Consumers are being advised to look out for security features - such as watermarks and moving barcodes - before purchasing second-hand tickets.
George Foley of ESET Ireland says online ticket scams are getting more sophisticated, with young people being targeted:
