Croatian Times reports:
More than 8,000 AC/DC fans have been conned in a 3 million GBP ticket scam on the band's world tour.
Organisers raked in 300,000 GBP in ticket sales for a bogus show in Bucharest, Romania, next month before the con was rumbled.
If they'd managed to sell all the tickets, organisers would have walked off with millions, local media reported.
It was only when the Aussie rockers posted a warning on their official website that the scam was revealed.
Organisers have apparently fled to Israel and their company PlayCool is no longer trading.
