How to Protect Yourself from Notre Dame Scams
Protect the Irish
Notre Dame football brings one of the most passionate fan bases in college sports.
Unfortunately, that same passion has made Irish fans a growing target for scams across social media.
From fake ticket listings and counterfeit merchandise to impersonation accounts and misleading posts, these tactics are becoming more common each season.
That’s why Protect the Irish was created.
What Is the Protect the Irish Guide?
The Protect the Irish report is a fan safety guide designed to help Notre Dame fans recognize scams before they lose money or compromise their personal information.
Instead of reacting after something goes wrong, this guide focuses on helping fans identify warning signs early.
It breaks down how scams are structured, how they spread, and how to evaluate what you’re seeing before making a purchase or engaging with a seller.
Why Notre Dame Fans Are Being Targeted
Notre Dame games, merchandise, and community engagement all create high demand.
Scammers take advantage of that by:
- Blending into fan groups
- Posting offers that feel personal and trustworthy
- Creating urgency around tickets or limited items
- Using social media activity to build credibility
They don’t need to trick everyone—just a few people at the right time.

A Simple, Repeatable System

Why This Guide Matters
Online scams are evolving, and social media platforms don’t always catch them in time.
That means the best protection is awareness.

The strength of the Notre Dame community has always been its people.
