I fell for £600 Oasis tickets scam and felt so bad I threw up in my garden in the West Midlands

My girlfriend's best mate Amanda (not her real name) shared her cousin's Facebook status at 8am on Thursday saying he was selling four tickets at face value to Wembley.

I was online and saw her post 18 minutes after she shared it. Now, I trust her with my life, she is as honest as the day is long. So I remembered one of my oldest pals Nat and Graham, who both missed out on tickets. I've seen Oasis before, I'm not that bothered now, but I knew it mattered to them.

Both patiently waited eight hours only to be kicked out on the check out on that shared day of misery and joy when tickets for the reunion everyone wanted to be at to go on sale.

So, I figured why not be the man, the fixer, the cool fella who has the contacts in places other people do not, why not tell them there are Oasis tickets going at face value.

Nat messaged back to say she could not make the date, however, messaged back almost immediately: "Yes, I'll have them, all four."

Excited, I friend requested him and sent a message, and commented under Amanda's post and told him to check his messages.

Laying it on the line, I messaged: "Hello, I'm Amanda's friend, I'll have the tickets, my mate got locked out at checkout."

He replied within four minutes: "Hey, are your interested in all 4 tickets?"

Obviously I thought I was talking to Amanda's cousin, and unlike those who hacked my own Facebook, it was not in pigeon English, so I presumed it was legit.

I asked Graham, yep, he wanted all four, after all, that's how many he was going to buy the first time round.
