Beware of fake social media accounts impersonating the 17th World Dragon Boat Racing Championships or the IDBF
These accounts may try to mislead followers with false information or unsolicited friend requests.
The IDBF is an organisation—not an individual. It will never:
- Send you a friend request
- Ask to connect personally for this event
- Invite you to a private or closed Facebook group
If you receive a suspicious message or request, do not engage—report the account immediately. Let’s stay vigilant and protect our community from scams.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
- Always verify official event pages by checking the handle and follower count.
- Never share personal details or financial information with unverified accounts.
- Watch out for phishing scams, especially those promising exclusive event access or prizes.
- If in doubt, check the official IDBF website https://www.dragonboat.sport
By following these precautions, you can help ensure a safe and secure online experience while enjoying all the excitement of the championships.
