PEOPLE across Dorset are being warned to beware of websites selling fake tickets for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Action Fraud has been alerted to several websites which are offering World Cup tickets for sale, some at highly inflated prices.
A FIFA spokesperson said: “FIFA regards the illicit sale and distribution of tickets as a very serious issue and it has been reminding all football fans that FIFA.com/tickets is the only official and legitimate website on which to buy tickets. FIFA has received various complaints and enquiries by customers of non-authorised ticket sales platforms, and has consistently confirmed that these companies cannot guarantee access to the stadiums as the respective tickets may be cancelled. Tickets obtained from any other source, such as ticket brokers, internet auctions or unofficial ticket exchange platforms, will be automatically rendered void and invalid”.
