Fake Ticket Arrest
I have reported about dodgy websites selling tickets on here before and now there have been some arrests. 5 people from London have been arrested for serious online fraud. They sold tickets for the Leeds and Reading festival as well as passes for the Beijing Olympics.
The company selling the tickets were called Xclusive Tickets Limited and they sold 1000’s of tickets and left people out of pocket unable to go to the festivals they thought they had secured tickets for.
People should always be advised to be very cautious when purchasing tickets for anything on the Internet. These people took tens of thousands of pounds from people and they did it by offering the most sought after tickets. If an event is sold out then take it that it is sold out. If you then see a website offering tickets and its a site you have never seen or heard of then steer well clear. As long as the Internet exists there will always be people trying to con you out of money and this is an easy way to do it.
