Clovis Rodeo Warns Vendors About Scam
5.1
Relevance Score
Clovis Rodeo organizers warned Tuesday about an AI-generated poster and fraudulent emails inviting food vendors to the April rodeo, which solicited $155 nightly fees and requested payment via Zelle, CashApp, PayPal or Chime. The association said it is not soliciting vendors; all food vendors are nonprofit and coordinated directly, and urged people to buy tickets only from the official website and avoid sharing personal information.
Scoring Rationale
Official association warning gives credible, actionable guidance; limited novelty and narrow local scope reduce broader impact.
