Title: I've been scammed!!
Post by: Woodfull on 08 February 2009, 18:23:36

There are no descriptives worthy of the tinkers that have conned us out of £250 for two Tina Turner tickets I'd bought for my wifes 50th birthday. >:( >:( >:(

Decided to do some digging when I had an e-mail bounced, came across this thread:
http://www.safeconcerts.com/forum/threads.asp?forum_urn=124&t_urn=8935&pgt=1

Web site claimed to be the "official" world tour website!!!

Terms like dark alley and baseball bat spring to mind.

Only saving grace is because I used the plastic I can claim it back.

tinkers !!!   >:( >:( >:(

Slightly off topic, sorry, but I've heard on the news that these poor ladies who want to work from home, stuffing envelopes and the like, are being conned out of their few bob by tw*ts who take their money and that's it, nowt turns up.
I know you're probably thinking that they ask for it but folk are clutching at straws at the mo and are just trying to make a few quid.
