Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has any feedback on tickets for sale advertised by lewis@worldwideticketslive.com.

They claim to be an independent ticket company and have tickets advertised for:

£150 V Festival(London) 12/05
£75 Leed and Reading Festival(London) 14/05
£75 Leed Reading Festival(London) 17/05
£100 Madonna, Wembley Arena Block C(London) 10/04
£75 T in the Park(London) 10/04
£100 George Michael(London) 23/04

It is one of those cases where you pay the money and receive the tickets later. Anyone dealt with these guys then please let me know?

It sounds ok?

To be honest I would steer clear of any ticket company that wants you to receive the tickets either a day or so before the event or on the same day as the event.

There was something on the tv about this sort of thing a few months ago with loads of buyers being scammed when they'd show up waiting for the tickets and the person who would be delivering them, only to be left standing!

Have you googled the company name/details?

I've found several scams out that way.

This is definately too good to be true,I have tickets for madonna and they cost over £170 each!There is no way they would sell them for £100

I note that you enquired about the above company being a scam, I am looking to purchase some tickets from them and would appreciate any feed back from anyone who has used them. Their offers seem to good to be true at outset !!!!

I have had numerous exchange of emails, but there are too many grey areas for my liking

*Worldwidetisketslive website is underconstruction and has been for past 2 weeks, so can only get front page, which has no information. Not only that the page is adverting google, web pages at a cost of £3:95 or something, so anyone could have set it up.

*The address the guy (in my case Lewis) uses doesn't seem to exist, I have tried to search on the internet. When I put my home address in as example, plenty came up, very close.

* The Bank account provided is in the name of an individual, which isn't the person I have been corresponding with.

*Payment is to be made directly into the individuals account, over the counter - to speed things up and of course before tickets are even issued. Surely if this company was real they would have a bank account, or may use Pay Pal.

*All emails are out side normal office hours (9-12 2-5:30). Mobile number is never answered but, texts are sent. They have been chasing for funds as to take cash to bank.

*I've tried Google, Ask Geeve, Yahoo & Lycos to try and see if this company exists but there is nothing other than their web address

So make up your own minds but I have managed to talk myself out of handing over any cash, until I receive valid evidence confirming otherwise.

I hope I am wrong for all those people who have used this company.

I would appreciate any feed back but only relating to this company.

Well it is amazing how quick you find answers to questions, when you chase. I have since which recieved an email which has put my mind at rest.

So I will take the gamble and fingers crossed, and will up date this when I hear more.

I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole.
Not only are they offering expensive tickets for a lot less than they are worth(too good to be true????) but www.worldwideticketslive.com is a website that is only registered for a year

NO POINT NO POINT NO POINT in warning people. The world is producing stupid fucks at a rate of 1000's a minute. Scammers never had it so good.

Betsy,

How did your transaction go? Did it all do through fine or was it a scam?

[naureboy-william]

Can anyone suggest who I contact to report scam?

[jsybean]

Unfortunately I found out the hard way and I was scammed by the above who's full name is Lewis McKenna. I have reported him to the Merseyside police and await to hear further.

I hope no-one took his word, and sent him money
