Possibly another dodgy aftershow ticket seller? Just a heads up folks - i replied to an ad on gumtree for aftershow 21/9 and this is the reply i got. I'm gonna pass as I think this is very dodgy i.e the paying of money to a 'Money Shop' sounds like too much like a scam...
Hello, Thanks for your e-mail. We still have the tickets, but just. I can confirm that here is payment details in order to buy the tickets as you perfer for me to post them out to you then have them collected in-person from me in Newcastle.

Best advice I can give in situations like this is to e-mail them and say:
"I'm up your way I can do cash on collection, can I have your addy and phone?" If they're willing to do that it increases the chance they're genuine, you can also check them out on www.192.com one you have a name addy and phone. If you're satisfied you can then say "change of plan.....etc" | |

Hmmm....City link charge £40 for a 7.30 am next day delivery. I would guess a same day would be at least double that.....
Plus, the number is a credit card number, not an account..... Walk away. Sounds a scam. . | |
