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

My friend's best friend, Amanda (not her real name), shared her cousin's Facebook status at 8am on Thursday and said he was selling four Wembley tickets at face value.

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. Then I remembered one of my oldest friends, Nat and Graham, neither of whom got tickets. I've seen Oasis before, it doesn't bother me as much now, but I knew it was important to them.

They both waited patiently for eight hours until they were kicked out at the box office on their shared day of misery and joy as tickets went on sale for the reunion everyone wanted to attend.

So I figured, why shouldn't I be the guy, the fixer, the cool guy who has the contacts in places that other people don't have, then why shouldn't I tell them that Oasis tickets are available at face value.

Nat wrote back that she couldn't make the date, but replied almost immediately: “Yes, I'll have them, all four of them.”

Excited, my friend asked about him and sent a message, commenting under Amanda's post and telling him to check his messages.

I put it on the line and texted, “Hi, I'm Amanda's friend, I'll have the tickets, my buddy got locked out at the box office.”

He responded within four minutes: “Hey, are you interested in all 4 tickets?”

Obviously I thought I was speaking to Amanda's cousin, and unlike those who had hacked my own Facebook, it wasn't in Pigeon English, so I assumed it was real.

I asked Graham, yes, he wanted all four, after all he wanted to buy so many the first time.
