Concert tickets been Scammed?

This is taken from my website www.ticketscam.co.uk so if you want further info on how to buy safely then please feel free to visit. What to do
1) Report the incident to the website they were advertised on eBay/gumtree etc - Don't expect any form of response from them but it's better to have a formal account of what has occurred. 2) If you paid via paypal less than 45 days ago lodge an item not received complaint. 3) If the purchase was funded via a credit card contact your card issuer who should provide a full refund on purchases over £100.00 under the consumer credit act of 1974. When it comes to debit cards visa have their own protection scheme which may help. 4) If you'd like to take the dispute further contact your local trading standards office and report the seller. 5) At this stage the police will be very reluctant to do anything as they'll usually consider it a civil matter. If you believe the seller has ripped of a few people then post on a forum the details of the alleged offence in order for other people to find you. Please keep everything factual and to the point avoiding any personal remarks however tempting it maybe. Once a few people have become involved then it's an excellent time to take all the information available to the police in a clear and concise form.
