Buying K-POP photocards on Twitter (X) can be exciting—but it is also one of the most common places where international fans get scammed. Based on repeated scam cases observed while working as a Korean proxy agent, this guide explains how scams happen, when scammers are most active, and how to protect yourself.
If you understand the patterns, you can avoid most scams entirely.
1. Scammers Are Most Active on Korean Weekends (KST)
One of the most consistent patterns is timing.
Most Twitter photocard scammers are active between Friday night and Sunday (Korean Standard Time).
Why?
Korean banks and customer service are closed or limited
Victims cannot immediately verify transfers or file reports
Scammers sell the same photocard to multiple buyers
They promise “Monday shipment” to delay exposure
Scam reports usually spread after the weekend—too late
Practical rule:If possible, avoid sending payments during Korean weekends. Waiting until Monday drastically reduces risk.
2. “Concert Pre-Recording Ticket Sellers” Are a Major Red Flag
If a Twitter account mainly advertises:
concert pre-recording access
broadcast entry tickets
fan sign “guarantees”
you should block and move on immediately.
In South Korea, ticket scalping is illegal. Sellers operating openly on Twitter are not legitimate businesses. From direct experience, the majority of these accounts eventually turn out to be scammers.
Mental health rule:Filtering them out 100% is healthier than “taking a chance.”
3. Fake Escrow Links on Bunjang & Joongonara
Platforms like Bunjang and Joongonara offer official escrow systems.
Common scam method:
Seller refuses official escrow
Sends a random bank account or external payment link
Claims escrow is “broken,” “slow,” or “not available for foreigners”
This is always a scam.
4. If Verification Is Stressful, Use a Korean Proxy Agent
For international buyers, language barriers and unfamiliar systems make scams easier.
If you want to avoid:
direct bank transfers
fake escrow links
Twitter DM manipulation
use a professional Korean proxy.
