Sports fans are being urged to be aware of the risk of scams that could take advantage of people’s disappointment at missing out on Olympics tickets.

Some will be unable to secure tickets, even following the second wave of sales.

Trading standards officers fear that some fake websites will be set up promising to supply tickets.

Websites that take people’s money and disappear have been set up prior to other major events and festivals.

If you have ever been the subject of a false allegation you will know how devasting this can be on your life and the lives of your family. Nicola Osborne from Portsmouth was jailed last week for 18 months for perverting the course of justice after falsely claiming she was raped.

For the first time ever, Somali pirates have hijacked and taken hostage three children aged 12-16 along with their parents and two crew members in the Indian ocean. This comes only days after the killing of four Americans last week.

Three children have been taken hostage by Somali pirates, the first time youngsters have been caught up in the continuing run of high seas hijacks.

They were with four adults on a Danish yacht crossing the Indian Ocean.

Most hostages captured in the waters off East Africa are professional sailors, not families. Pirates are not known to have captured children before.
