Paid for 4 tickets at face value last Thursday, and the last email I received from them was on the day when I said I'd paid - they said they'd pop them in the post that day.

Not going to report them yet, as I'll give them a couple more days to get back to me, but the reason I paid upfront is that they gave me their HSBC bank account details to pay the money in - what I want to know is that this would be easily traceable surely if they were going to scam me?

Bloody hoping so as this set me back a packet...

Hi vikingpimp,

I hope you do get your tickets. If you don't then please report it to us via the 'Stay Safe' section below.

Please see my thread on buying tickets safely: http://forums.gumtree.com/viewtopic.php?t=157815
