Regarding the issue of resale fraud, the French news website Connexion has reported that about 338 fraudulent websites have been identified. These websites claim to sell tickets but are not authorized to do so. French authorities are actively working to shut down these fraudulent sites to protect buyers. They urge everyone to only purchase tickets from the official Paris 2024 website to avoid being scammed. This effort includes cooperation between various groups, including online platforms and payment services, to ensure that the ticket buying process is safe and fair for everyone.
