Cooper's Bar-B-Q warns of scammers as 2025 Concert Series nears
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Christoval barbecue restaurant and concert hotspot Cooper's Barb-B-Q is warning its patrons of scammers after facing a wave of social media impersonator accounts as the start of the business's 2025 Concert Series nears.
According to Cooper's Bar-B-Que, the restaurant 'banned 15 different scam accounts (and counting)' throughout Wednesday, March 26. It stated that the accounts 'are almost exact copies of our page.'
The business said it would never ask patrons to click on a hyperlink to enter contests or claim giveaways. It advised those who may have provided personal details or credit and debit card information to 'contact your bank immediately.'
The onslaught of scammers comes as Cooper's Bar-B-Que is slated to begin its 2025 Concert Series on Friday, March 28. Running alongside the months-long event is the restaurant's #Tix4Trash program, which allows people to claim free general admission tickets to concerts at the restaurant in exchange for filling a 50-gallon trash bag with public roadside garbage and providing evidence of the deed.

Cooper's Barb-B-Que stated that the scammers typically become more prevalent whenever the business holds a contest.
'This happens every time we do a big contest; even though we do our best to protect our guests, it's practically impossible to catch 'em all,' Cooper's Bar-B-Que said.
The business encouraged patrons to spread the word of its scam warning.
