Sophos has posted a blog entry about a ticket scam for the upcoming olympic games at Beijing.

The blog entry notes that the IOC (International Olympic Committee) shutdown a domain several weeks ago about this type of scam. However, a new one had arisen.

When a user visits this new site, he or she may see it as legitimate since it looks professional. CheeHui, the author of the blog entry, notes that there are two flaws about the site that reveal that it is not a legitimate place to buy tickets. First, email address is the only way to communicate. Next, the domain registration list that the office is located in the USA but the phone number is a United Kingdom number.
