英伦广角 2010-05-30 世界杯网上售票有诈（在线收听）

Not just sporting events in the World Cup, but also, as the summer months draw close, when people are very excited about the hot wave from festivals. We want to make people aware that these scam websites are all out there and people should be on their guard.

And our research in the last few months have said that, sort of suggested that one in twelve people who buy tickets that includes the World Cup of course, and other events, but one in twelve people have admitted that they've fallen foul of these scam ticket sites，and of that, people lose an average of 80 pounds. But even more so, people are saying that, one in five people saying that they either have been scammed or they know someone that has. So it's, you know what, one in five people are pretty shocking statistics really.

Right, they are being fooled because these websites are really professional, but also there's the excitement, isn't there, of thinking that you've got ticket and also just being so desperate to get the tickets especially for things like the World Cup. So it's the professionalism with the sites and a bit about the excitement of, of thinking that you found something. If people have been fallen foul of scam online websites, so make them contact Consumer Direct. Our website got loads of information on there which gives you advice on your rights if things have gone wrong, but also gives you the opportunity to report the scam to us
