Rugby World Cup Scam

 Scammers are already trying to cash in on the Rugby World Cup, more than a year before it gets underway.

Websites are offering tickets at prices which make even the official rates look a bargain. One has category A tickets at $3600, when the official price is $1250.

Even category D tickets are marked up sharply to more than $1600...when the official price is just under $400.

Internet security experts are warning it could be a double-con. They say people who buy from the sites could find they have given their credit card details to fraudsters
