Bogus Olympic ticket websites

London Police have warned sports fans to beware of eight bogus Olympic ticket websites that are either unauthorised or fraudulent. Fifty victims have so far been identified as having been ripped off and detectives believe there will be many more.

Police have managed to get some sites shut down, but have found host countries reluctant to use their laws to do so in other cases, .

Sites to beware of: www.2012-londonsummergames.org, www.2012- Londonsummergames.com, www.eurosport.info, www.jetsetsport.info, www.globalticketmarket.com
 w.shortlettingslondon.co.uk, www.sportticketexchange.com, www.cityoflondonlettings.co.uk

Anyone who has bought tickets or accommodation from any of those sites are urged to email police at podiumenquiries@met.police.uk
