Watch Out For Room & Ticket Scammers:

Common Room Scams Things To Look Out For

  • They do not make a post of their own stating that they have a room or space available.
  • They are non-group members commenting on multiple other people’s posts that they have a room or space available. 
  • They send private messages from a post in a group and not a public comment for a room share or room transfer.
  • They do not state what type of room they have or which room type space is available.
  • They try to convince you to do a private room transfer.
  • They will not transfer it on a group call with Kalahari.
  • They do not officially transfer the room through the Kalahari Phone Transfer System. Please see the Kalahari Room Transfer Procedure: https://colossalcon.com/admission/hotels-transportation/ 
  • They ask for payment in ways that cannot be refunded, like Paypal friends and family or cash app.
  • They ask for around $50-100, small amounts lower than it would normally be to split a room outside of massive room stuffing. 
  • On your end, paying them shows a conversion into a foreign currency such as Euros.
  • They won’t take Paypal goods and services as payment, even if you offer to cover the fee.
  • They Offer to transfer a room with no transfer fee.
  • They are not using a real name, no contact information, fake FB, or other profile.

Common Ticket Scams Things To Look Out For:

  • Many things very similar to the above room scams as well as:
  • They state, “I have 4 tickets, but I can no longer attend”. Usually saying, “I have an emergency, wedding, covid, funeral.”  
  • Their FB page does not match their profile name.  
  • They always comment on a post, a ticket sales page, or an unrelated post, saying the same thing—usually multiple times.
  • They are usually never a group member or page follower.  
  • They frequently comment on event pages offering tickets for sale.
  • The only place authorized to sell tickets is through our website.
