I got the mail above from Eventbrite today, and as far as I can tell, it’s really been sent from Eventbrite, and the links are valid.
So it’s for some show in Belgium somewhere, with a person called Tracy Wells? So I googled, and:
Tracy Wells seems to be some kind of fortune teller scammer? I mean, “spiritual medium”.
Very weird, especially since I’m not in Belgium… but on the other hand, it got me to google her name, so I guess the spam was successful?
OOPS! FOILED AGAIN
[Update next day:]
Next day I got messages from Eventbrite “about” the event — but linking to an AutoPass scam site (AutoPass is a car pass system used here).
So: They first create a fake event on Eventbrite, and then give free tickets to the people they want to spam. And then they start spamming them via Eventbrite, because:
Eventbrite is whitelisted as a known good sender — so these subsequent scam messages aren’t tagged as spam.
It’s kinda clever, eh?
