Festival ticket scam - Five News request

[fivenews]

Hi. I'm a producer at Five News. I am currently putting together a report on the ticket scam websites that have sprung up this year. As you may know, thousands of people were conned last year - and I hope that media reports like mine should stop so many people from being caught out this summer.

I would liketo talk to anyone who was a victim of last year's con websites (or if you already know that you've been a victim this year!).

You can either email me at emma.slifkin@bskyb.com or call me on 020 7800 2742 . Please make sure you include a contact number for me to reach you on.

Thanks !

Emma

I almost wish I had a tale to tell here as I think Emma Slifkin sounds like the name of someone pretty - but I have been on the Brothers, so who knows.

I have shame. It just takes so much for it to come out. Usually it needs the next morning.

[Funkfarley]

You're a proper stalker! I feel like an amateur now.

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

Lol...if i was Emma I would be scared....

[benisright]

Not from me. I'm a coward. I'd just wait outside the house. He'd go through the bins.

Just logged onto the forum - this is the funniest forum conversation I've ever had in the line of work ! Very good digging guys! Although, must admit I could probably do with updating my music likes on Facebook ! Sadly, it doesn't sound like any of you can help me with my story ! However, when the report is done I will be adding it to the Five News website. I'll let you all know when that happens.

Thanks Mikey - that link was really helpful. I've already been contacted by someone who's been conned by one of the named sites. Nightmare ! There is another site someone has contacted me about, which isn't on the list(tickets2ride.com). If I get confirmation that it's dodgy I'll add it to the list.
