This company was on Watchdog a while ago, they tell you to meet outside the venue and never turn up, then claim that they couldn't find you

[art b]

yep ive seen that on watchdog too,
the guy responsible has just opened new companys,each time after being found guilty...the sums of money  scammed must be huge,
there are so many people taken in by false websites and interweb scams these days...
even watch dog opened a false company on the web selling popular products plasma tvs,ipods etc and were taking money with in hours...

Er i dont actualy see the problem here, unless he paid cash or cheque a call to the creditcard company will see a refund under thtier fraud policy or am i missing something ?

[art b]

he's partner, paid by debit card....

[55starchief]

Well i would call the bank, im pretty sure they have a simaler policy on fraud, might get lucky you never know after all its only a phone call

[art b]

yep they will call ,after the weekend,

my bro said to his slightly blonde partner ;  

do you think we should call the police,

she said i supose it would be a good idea at least they would have it on record...

he said have you got stings number.....

[55starchief]

and..................

[art b]

well...

he had a call giving him two mobi phone numbers and was told to ring at 6pm,
he had a look around hyde park and there were a few touts selling tickets,

so he called the number early, and low and behold,one of the guys selling tickets had two for him....

he told him of the concern for getting his tickets and the guy said he was surprised,he hadnt heard of any problems ....
my bro definatley paid for his ticket to a group in hungry,without realising
but it all came good in the end...

a quote from blagger.com

"This website is nothing more than londonticketshop and londonticketmarket under a different name. Its based in Hungary yet again, with an office in Cyprus yet again. Avoid this ticket touts website like the plague"
