TOWN centre shoppers should beware of a bogus ticket seller who has been wiping the smile off fun lovers.

A short, attractive teenage girl with a frizzy blonde hairstyle was selling tickets at £1 a time in Leigh town centre offering a year's free admission to the childrens' Railway Road Fun Faktory.

Police were informed of Saturday's incident and the Fun Faktory's concerned Lynn France warned:"If you are offered tickets, don't buy them. We are not running a competition and if we were it would be done from here, not out on the street."
