I received the following email this morning;

There is only one link on the site which results in " App that you are trying to run is not supported on this Operating System !"

As far as I can tell Micky Flanagan isn't even playing Wembley and its not someone anyone would get me tickets for without my knowledge.

You clicked the link, that was the point. It might have been set to run something on android that was a bit dodgy. You were probably lucky it didn't run

Dunno, but I'm incensed that even made-up events want to charge you for a ticket, then something they made up and then some other number they plucked out of their arse. Plus postage.

4 Regular x £ 37.50 = £ 150.00 (Tax Included)
4 Facility Fee x £ 1.25 = £ 5.00 (Tax Included)
4 Service Charge x £ 4.75 = £ 19.00 (Tax Included)

Oh, and you're best not clicking on links in unsolicited emails.

I think the Mickey Flanagan tickets sold out very quickly, so they're probably hoping you're one of his 'fans' and were desperate to get a ticket....

I'm on Apple so fear no link.

Which I accept is a tab dim.

Odd, isn't it.

Does anyone else get those "I saw your post on singletrackworld.com... I think a collaboration between us could work well..." spams? They even follow up after a couple of weeks. What the hell are those about??
