The high demand for the 20th Warsaw Half Marathon has led to an increase in fraudulent buying and selling offers online.
If you decide to trade with someone you don’t know, please follow these essential safety guidelines:
- Verify the seller’s race number: Ensure the seller actually has a bib assigned to them.
- Cross-check the entry list: Check their name on the official start list and ask for confirmation, such as a screenshot of their confirmation email showing their full name and bib number.
- Research the person: Take a moment to check the seller’s social media profile for credibility.
- Avoid “blind” transfers: Be cautious of quick, non-refundable payments (like BLIK) to unknown individuals.
- Protect your data: Never share authorization codes, BLIK codes, credit card details, or PINs with anyone.
This anniversary race should be a celebration, not a source of stress. If you are buying a start number online, do it wisely and with caution.
