BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Viagogo; Asylum Hotels; World Cup Scams

The scams to avoid ahead of this weekend's World Cup.

More than a year after You and Yours uncovered evidence of serious issues with the secondary ticketing website, we hear about the latest concerns from listeners after Peter Kay tickets were being sold on the site for vastly inflated sums. 


The World Cup kicks off in Qatar this weekend and with it comes warnings of a big spike in scams. Peter White talks Tom McVey a cyber security expert from the firm Menlo Security about what to look out for. 

And with more and more hotels being used to home asylum seekers we hear from guests who have had their bookings cancelled for weddings and events and Enver Soloman Chief Executive the Refugee Council tells Peter White why the hotels are not the solution.
