OCUK detectives - smart hospitality tickets

In February I purchased £175 of tickets for Bruce Springsteen in Germany next month, all went through ok and the company had no bad reviews or warnings after a google. went to check for an update on the site, but it's now a blank page, not much on google however one thread on a forum states they have been shut down by the police for fraud.

spoke to my credit card company and getting a refund *should* be possible however they won't do anything until after July 6th as they say they could still come..

anyone had any dealings with them?

If its fraud you'll get your money back.

I don't know whats more worrying, the fact that this company has obviously defrauded lots of people, or that someone spent £301 on take that tickets.

Definitely the latter. For shame.

i have not had the pleasure of being 'done' on the web before and really do pick my sites, i spoke to someone on the phone as well.... which is quite shocking! i always use my credit card for online trade and after a brief chat i should get my cash back ok. They had serious website with forum and active phone lines, wonder if they just went bust or they were a con from day one.
