Oregon AG warns about Olympics tickets scam
China's National Stadium, known as the Bird's Nest, foreground, is seen in front of the National Aquatics Center, known as the Water Cube, in Beijing. By Associated PressSALEM, Ore. (AP) _ The Oregon attorney general's office is warning about bogus Web sites offering phony tickets for the Olympic Games in Beijing. State officials say they've gotten many complaints from consumers who paid thousands of dollars for tickets they never received. Officials say the U.S. Olympic Committee has authorized only one company to sell tickets in the United States — doing business as CoSport and Jet Set Sports. Those tickets cannot be sold through commercial brokers. And official tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies are embedded with a microchip that contains the ticket holder's name, photo and passport number. |
