Four people who were taken in custody for allegedly held up for a fake concert and sports ticket scam was now released on bail.

The report brought forward by the Independent, claimed the arrest of three men and one woman for launching two websites, worldwidetickets. com and gigsport. com, aimed at cheating people for procurement of tickets for non-existent concerts and sport in adventures.

The department laid arrest due to an illegal buyout of tickets, soon after finding the fake sites that claimed of offering tickets for Reading Festival and concerts meant for popular artists such as Black Eyed Peas and Michael Buble.

However, the people were soon released on bail as the investigation was left hanging in the air.

The police authorities were asked to take action soon after National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) picked up 265 complaints from users who claimed loss of around £40,000 to scammers fraud.

In a particular case a woman from South Africa had paid for £1,800 for three Wimbledon centre court tickers, later was considered to be fake. The four people were picked up from City of London, Waltham Abbey and Chingford, east London.
