Brisk Booth is a directory. We list markets and link you to the people who run them — we never sell booths, and we never collect fees for any market, ever. If someone asks you to pay “for your spot” and mentions Brisk Booth, it’s a scam.
Before you pay any booth fee:
- Go to the source. Use the organizer contact or website from the market’s own listing — not a comment, DM, or text from someone claiming to run the event.
- Never pay off a comment thread. Scammers reply under real event posts pretending to be the organizer. The real organizer won’t mind you verifying — a scammer will pressure you to hurry.
- Avoid “friends & family” payments. PayPal friends-and-family, and most Venmo/Cash App payments to strangers, can’t be recovered if the event turns out to be fake.
- Check the profile. A brand-new account with no history, a slightly misspelled organizer name, or a fee that doesn’t match the organizer’s official page are all red flags.
- When details conflict, trust the official page — the organizer’s own site or application form beats anything said in a message.
Spotted one? Tell the group’s admins, and send us the market name through the feedback page so we can check the listing. Real organizers want you to verify — it’s the scammers who don’t.
