However, a fictitious website is offering tickets to India-New Zealand match as well as other matches particularly the games India is featuring.

That the website and its contains are fictitious could be gauged from the fact the official website of ICC for procuring tickets for the T20 World Cup matches is totally a different website. This may sound like an attractive deal; however, it is simply bait for Internet users/cricket fans who are keen to be a part of the World Cup matchjes and experience the thrill. Although World Cup tickets are in high demand, the supply should always be from a legitimate source. The ever eager cricket fans should ignore such mails . Websites that sell tickets and ask for financial or personal information should be protected. If you don’t ignore such luring offers the tricksters would be the only winners.
