Wethersfield police are warning people about cybercriminals using the Eventbrite platform to steal personal information from users.
Eventbrite is a website and app that allows people to promote and sell tickets to events.
According to police, cybercriminals are setting up fake events and then emailing users an invitation.
The invite may look legitimate and often uses realistic brands and logos, they said.

Police urge people to follow these tips to avoid falling victim to the scam:
