A fake news article is spreading online that incorrectly states Eminem the global rap superstar will perform in India during a five-city tour. Borok Times published an entirely fabricated article claiming that Live Nation has officially confirmed the tour while Asian Paints serves as the sponsor. The information about this tour is completely false because Eminem and his management team along with all legitimate event organizers have made no official announcements about this tour.
Why This is a Scam?
Eminem has not announced his India tour on his official website or social media pages or trusted ticketing platforms such as BookMyShow and Ticketmaster.
The article incorrectly links Live Nation and Asian Paints to the event but both companies have failed to confirm this association.
Scam ticket sales frequently occur because fake event listings mislead buyers into giving money to fraudsters who operate fake events.
The website Borok Times operates as an unverified news outlet because it does not serve as an official platform for announcing concerts thus making its claims highly doubtful.
How to Protect Yourself?
Check for event information only through official channels which include Eminem’s website together with his social media profiles.
Never buy concert tickets from sources you do not trust or that are not authorized to sell them.
People should be wary of unsanctioned online ticket promotions because they lack official verification.
If you encounter ticket sale scams you should report them to cybercrime authorities through their reporting channels.
Stay Alert!
Scammers use phony event promotions of celebrity performances to deceive people into buying tickets for events that do not exist. Always verify information before you buy something or give out personal information.
