Global Ticket Market review: scam 272

when anyone gets a decent response from the police ..please let us know ...

I' ve filled an claim with Action Fraud who quite helpful on the phone. Everyone make sure you do as the more claims they have, the more weight they can go to a police station with to do something. Remember to include your buyers as part of the ring as they are likely to be involved, especially one of the Paramsivans.

The advisor said to me on the phone that we can go to the police but they likely won't have the resources to deal with one fraud claim. However if we all go as one, or provide each other with our Crime Ref numbers, it all adds up and soon they will have to do something.

Come on guys, lets not let these guys get away with it! Remember we have done NOTHING WRONG. Otherwise the ActionFraud advisors won't even be able to complete a report like they have done for som many of us.

Hi, When i try writing a longer article its not letting me post. So i will send it in short streams...

Hi All,

@ muhammadali2011 - I would like to comend you on your efforts. It might be a good idea to join efforts / info?

@ Global ticket market Victim - It seems there been stuck on Worst Ratings (-10) & Subjects of Wide Speculation (-114). I am sure it should be more by now!

@ RaphaelDaune - I called http://www.enom.com last night. They are based in America but are def worth calling. They were very helpful. I will not state where this is going publicly for now.

Some posts of mine not appearing on here? let me try smaller entries

@ muhammadali2011 - Well done! Maybe we can share info / efforts / contacts?

@ Global ticket market Victim - Its been stuck now on -10 & 114, it should be going up well beyond that!

@ RaphaelDaune - I called e-nom in the USA last night, very friendly folk and they take this kind of thing very seriously. Pls follow up with more complaints. They will probably share any info with your officer in charge, hence the importance of a Crime Report!

keep up the good work denver

I've been on http://www.enom.com/whois/Default.aspx?DomainName=globalticketmarket# it says that GTM is registered with http://www.whoisguard.com/tools.asp?type=submit, i went on this website and did a search and it came back saying that "the Domain - www.globalticketmarket IS NOT in our control. This domain is registered somewhere else." I don't understand how it can say on enom.com that they are registered through whoisguard.com and yet whoisguard are saying it is registered elsewhere? has the fraud gone as far back as even faking the site that they took over? Its all way too technical for me and i don't understand any of it!

Hi Mugged off by GTM, its definetly held at enom. I think these scammers must be trying to move it now, probably trying to clean there tracks

Hi All,

I think GTM have played there hand yesterday with there e-mail. Its good there given us those reasons as we can now take that to the police for them to investigate further and validate. We need to now step up the operation. Its clearly obvious that GTM have scammed the whole lot of us, the time for half measures is now over!

For those of you that wanted to wait and see what happened - Today is 10 days after the event, you have got the same e-mail as the rest of us and you will never see a penny of your money. Its time to decide, do you take a hit on your tickets, lose your £326, £526 or your £626 and forget the whole affair? Next time i'll be smarter! Thats what GTM would want you to do. Or do you pursue? To help you decide I will tell you for a fact that each of our tickets were sold on by GTM for in an excess of £1500 min. I am willing to bet the better tickets were sold for probably between £2000-£3500 each. We have all seen the going rates, we chose GTM for there 0% sales commission / and that they were in The Sun /The Mirror / Daily Mail etc etc (FACT!)

Sorry every1 I need to post this bit by bit, this forum is not allowing me to post it in one message!

GTM made loads and loads of money of our tickets, now they are choosing to snub us off like FOOLS!

I think the current strategy will be a good start for those of us that are serious in getting these guys. One or two reports is not going to do much, but if we can get that to over 20 its a great start, the move we complain the more chance we have off success! Pls add, this is just what I came up with:

Please can everyone ensure that they file a report with the police if they haven't done so already. It doesn’t take long and you can do this by phoning [protected]. The police need to know that this crime has impacted a lot of people otherwise they are unlikely to open a criminal investigation.

calling the fraud line now

I cant copy and paste what I wrote for some odd reason, so i will write it again:

One or two reports are not going to do much, we need to get to over 20 at least. The more we do the more chance we have. My suggestion is the following:

1. Complain to the Police - Give them all details!
2. Action Fraud - Same as above
3. The Serious Fraud Office - Same as above
4. Canyoutrustthem.com - I think that speaks for itself ;-)
5. Citizens Advice Bureau - For those that want further re-assurance

Add more if you like. I feel if we can all do the above we have a better chance. Like bovril33 has stated above, would the SFO waste there time with us if we had done something illegal? Would the police have visited a few people and given us crime ref numbers if we had done something wrong? Why would GTM take off there Dutch / Ireland /Spanish address of there website yesterday unless they felt the noose was closing on them? Today both numbers are switched off!

My aim is to get GTM on this list!

Xclusive - Is the company invloved in the olympic ticket scandal, in my view GTM is worse then this company, xclusive were involved in not delivering tickets and charged with fraud. GTM stole our tickets, plain and simple - they should be charged and sentenced for theft!

Xclusive

The SFO in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police, is investigating the affairs of Xclusive Tickets Ltd, Xclusive Leisure & Hospitality Ltd, Tradeandbid.com Ltd, Rugby World Cup 2007 Hospitality Ltd, World Hospitality Company Ltd and ATC.com Ltd ("the Xclusive companies"), all of which are in liquidation. These companies sold tickets or hospitality packages online for a wide variety of events including the Beijing Olympics and various 2008 summer music festivals in the UK. A large number of these tickets were not supplied or the full service was not provided. If you are one of the customers who did not receive their tickets or full hospitality packages and are willing to assist the SFO's enquiry by providing details of your losses, please contact the team at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=PmRPHmiBdIZ3atZUIzJr_2bg_3d_3d

Hi all, I'm going to my police now to file my complaint...can i have your crime ref numbers to pass onto them so they can link all our cases together and see how far spread this is.
Cheers
P.S don't give up the fight...we have already lost our money so we have nothing else to loose. Unity is strength, stand together.

Hi, Firstly sorry for my bit by bit messages, this board was not allowing me to post all at once.

Pls ppl i urge everyone to read the Xclusive case on sfo - I feel this company has commited a lesser crime, just fraud as opposed to GTM who have committed Theft and to see that outcome as our incentive.

I would like to make a suggestion, over the last week or so I have been contacted by a lot of ppl, some of them who had gone to great lengths, police, action fruad, sfo etc and some just waiting for this week to see what happened. I am based in London and I would like to pursue GTM further, I think posting on this board has become too public. We are letting them know every step we take! To help I have created an e-mail address:

globalticketmarket_scam@yahoo.com

My aim for now is to deal with those ppl that are as serious about this as me, the ones with the police report / crime reports etc. in a hope that if we approached the police or sfo jointly we would catch there eye. Some of us have shared info and I would like to use the new e-mail address as a tool for gathering info and also for forwarding it on to the relevant authorities. I would also welcome a meet in London or close by / maybe we can approach a police station together? If the police see 20 ppl from different walks of life / different locations in the UK but with a common enemy they are more likely to see us as people who have been scammed and are not afraid to do something about it.

The reference for the report I filed today is cad5284/7 July 2011

This is not a crime reference number. I was told that the police would only open a crime reference number if enough of us logged a report. Like Denver79 has already stated, we need over 20 reports at least to be filed for the police to take action.

I think we all need to read the case about xclusive - they were only involved fraud and look at what happened to them, GTM is involved in theft!

I think posting on this board has become too public and is giving GTM info on what we are up to. I have created an e-mail *globalticketmarket_scam@yahoo.com

My aim is to use this to gather info about our cases and use it to forward to the sfo / action-fruad / police so they can see they are dealing with 20 ppl and 20 cases not just one.

Which one are you going to Mugged off by GTM?

The reference for the report I filed today is cad5284/7 July 2011. This is not a crime reference number. I was told that the police would only open a crime reference number if enough of us logged a report. Like Dever79 has arelady said, we need to file at least 20 reports for the police to take note and do something about the people behind this scam, so please take the time to do this a.s.a.p. if you haven't done so already.

Hi Denver
i'm going to my local one in devon, i'm not sure if your all going to london ones or the same one?

am on the phone to the serious fraud office at the moment, they are going to look at whether they can take this case on or if there is another branch/section that can if they can't.
Denver79 do you know if they are a plc registered company? He is ringing back in a min and asked that question on the phone.

Hi, all different mate -
Go to which ever one you can. As long as we are all chasing GTM

Check your e-mail Mugged off - all info is there

I've just spoken to the serious fraud office and in order for our case to be looked at by them EVERYONE needs to log their complaint on http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ The serious fraud office will be contacted by action fraud if there is a big scale of people logging complaints, if only afew of us are doing it then it will never be investigated by the big guys... you can do it by phone or online, it does not take long when you compare it to the justice that would be made if enough of you do it so please contact action fraud now.

Hi everyone ive just got off the phone to the serious fraud office, they have said that in order for the case to be referred to them EVERYONE needs to report this to the following website... http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/ you can do it online or over the phone.

Only when action fraud have recieved a large volume of compalints will they then refer it too the serious fraud office. Please everyone just fill out the form online or let them do it for you over the phone, it doesn't take long when you look at the justice that we could get out of it...

Hi, i have just reported to police on [protected] and given ref: CAD6988 and told local sation will contact me shortly.

Just cannot believe this. Nobody is answering the phone now. Those thieving ###, I'm sure there mothers would be so proad of them. I'm a great believer in what goes around comes around, so hopefully they will all suffer for this. I will be first in the viewing gallery if we manage to get them in court. Everyone keep in touch. I'm reporting the case to the serious fraud squad. I'm also posted a claim with the Post Office as the person who signed for my letter is clearly not the person it was meant for.

Hi Guys i think that we have been infiltrated by the scammers those who have sensitive info and want to beat the ### may i suggest you channel you info privately to Denver79 first.
If you are all fair you will accept that he is doing most of the hard work at present therefore i am happy that he takes the lead on this and hope you too are.

Denver and mugged off by GTM can you let me know your email address's I would like to take this further and I have crime no too. Cheers
