Overview
- Federal and Mexico City cybersecurity units issued a coordinated alert warning of online scams tied to tourist packages and tickets for the 2026 tournament.
- Authorities say criminals deploy cloned websites via search engines, social media and messaging apps, and impersonate travel advisors with fake quotes, contracts and reservation folios.
- Victims are pressured to pay immediately, with requests for transfers to personal accounts or cryptocurrency that make funds hard to trace.
- Guidance includes buying only through www.fifa.com/tickets, verifying authentic domains and security certificates, distrusting unreal discounts or urgent demands, and consulting the SSPC ciberguía on gob.mx.
- Suspected fraud can be reported through the Mi Policía app, X accounts @SSC_CDMX and @UCS_GCDMX, the email policia.cibernetica@ssc.cdmx.gob.mx and the phone 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086.
