In speaking to many scammers, they have told me that the lead generators collect contact information from several legit sources including major retailers and Ticketmaster. I have long suspected Ticketmaster as the source. Today, for the first time in a long time I bought tickets from Ticketmaster (using a free voucher from a lawsuit settlement). Upon confirming my order, Ticketmaster asked me if I wanted to receive a promotion from Hello Fresh, ticket insurance, and whatever else. I clicked, no thanks, no thanks, quickly. To quickly, because do you know what popped up? ROYAL SEAS CRUISES. Unfortunately, I did not get a screenshot. This is confirmation of the link between Ticketmaster, the lead generators, and the scammers. Please help with confirming and getting more information on this matter. Thank you.

Proof of link from Ticketmaster / Live Nation to Westgate Resorts & TravelPlus! scams. Both are presented as opt-in only promotions. My guess is in the past, these were not opt-in but default promotions. Hence, Ticketmaster / Live Nation has sold your contact info to 3rd party marketers for years.
