Lindy Hoppers: CAN WE GET YOUR HELP? Apparently there are scammers making multiple copies of our event and a copy of our page... and this can intensify as we get closer to the event with them asking for money. One of those events has almost as many people "interested" or "going" as our actual page!
First, here are things you can look for to make sure it's actually us:
Our page The International Lindy Hop Championships () was started Feb 1, 2010.
Our Virtual ILHC event is hosted by Sylvia, Tena, and Scott in addition to The International Lindy Hop Championships.
We have a registration system and donation system on our website ilhc.com, and our live streams will be shown on our website as well--we will NOT ask for money on facebook in any way.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
If you have a minute, you can help us by making sure you aren't "interested" or "going" to any of the scam events. And going a step farther by reporting the events and page.
Currently there appear to be 4 different scam events. You'll see the hosts are things like "All Streaming Live Event", "Europe Top Events", "Full-Album Benefit Concert", as well as the fake page "The Virtual ILHC 2020".
We would GREATLY appreciate your help!
Tena, Sylvia, and Scott
