The Denver Broncos have issued a warning to fans about a scam involving fake mascot auditions. The scam targets individuals by offering them a chance to try out for the team's mascot, but instead aims to steal personal information or money.
According to the Broncos' official statement, the scammers contact victims via email or social media, claiming to represent the team. They ask for sensitive details such as Social Security numbers or bank account information under the guise of processing audition fees or background checks.
The team emphasizes that all legitimate auditions are conducted through their official website and never require payment or personal financial data. Fans are urged to report any suspicious communications to the Broncos' security team or local authorities.
This warning comes as part of a broader effort by NFL teams to combat scams that exploit fan enthusiasm. The Broncos advise fans to verify any audition offers by contacting the team directly through verified channels.
