Oh man this makes me angry to know that some U2 fans were victimised in this way and I just pray that none of you interferencers have inadvertently become a victim of this cruel scam.
Hmmmm, I dont recall anything like this before. I wonder if this kind of thing had happened to U2 fans before?

U2 Fans Stuck In A Scam
U2 fans have been hit by a ticketing scam for a European concert that never existed, according to reports.
The band were advertised to play the Amsterdam Arena over the summer through the LatestEvents.com website for ?199, including travel and accomodation.
'Unscrupulous people'
But U2 were never booked to play the show, according to nme.com, and after announcing the "cancellation" of the concert, the London firm subtracted ?17.50 from each package for their "insurance fee."
John Giddings, the band's global tour manager told the Daily Mirror that he feels severe action should be taken against those responsible.
He added: "These unscrupulous people were taking deposits for a tour that didn't exist."
Swindle
"One had been considered - no more than that. These people made the rest up. I think they should be jailed."
Kevin Brown, a co-director of the company responsible, claimed they had not swindled fans.
He went on to insist that the band had been confirmed for the venue, despite assurances from U2's management and the venue itself that the opposite was true.
Oh man this makes me angry to know that some U2 fans were victimised in this way and I just pray that none of you interferencers have inadvertently become a victim of this cruel scam.
Hmmmm, I dont recall anything like this before. I wonder if this kind of thing had happened to U2 fans before?
