:mad:Recently I was searching for Vfestival tickets on the official sites
as im aware of fakes, a pop up exactly the same as the v festival site appeared offering to put me on a waiting list for returned tickets.It looked exactly the same as main site. i gave them my name address and telephone number, i have just recieved my credit card statement to find £705 had been taken by goodtime entertainments how they they got my details i dont know. luckily i bought it with my credit card but i thought other people would be caught out by this. I have been informed it may have been because i was using a free wi-fi zone at the time and they are not as protected.

I think the OP means that he/she didn't give them credit card details? Go to the police and also report to your credit card co for a chargeback.
V tickets are a nightmare. There are so many scam sites out there claiming to be 'official' that you have to be very careful.
I got mine last year through 'getmein', which is run by Ticketmaster and so has a guarantee.Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j
OU student: A103 , A215 , A316 all done. Currently A230 all leading to an English Literature degree.
Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.0 -
https://www.scarletmist.com is probably your best bet. Ethical tickets (i.e Face Value!)0

I have just done a search against "goodtime entertainment" and found this thread, that I will piggybag onto. My wife bought 2 tickets for T in the Park back in February. Tickets have not arrived and after trying to contact them without any luck have found that "goodtime entertainment" is a scam and we are £180 out of pocket.
Would like to put the word out so others are not scammed by these b**tards!!!0 -
Their address dont even exist0

OP, I am now in the Dog and Duck. If you pm me with your bank details the nice General friends of mine, (they regularly email me with offers of vast fortunes and viruses), will soon clean them, oops you out.0
