"The organisers of the London Marathon say there are no circumstances when a marathon entry can be transferred from one person to another. It is a total fabrication for anyone to suggest that a TCS London Marathon place can be sold or transferred."
"All places in the TCS London Marathon are strictly nontransferable. Our terms and conditions of entry make clear that participants cannot swap places, or allow another person to use their bib number."
"Scammers often use poor grammar and punctuation in their messages, which can be a red flag. They typically ask for payment via bank transfer, which offers no protection for the buyer."
"The real entry fee is 79.99, and any offer to transfer a place for 79 is likely a scam. Runners should only sign up through official channels."
Scammers are targeting runners by offering fake entries for the London Marathon, claiming to transfer spots for a fee. The marathon organizers emphasize that all entries are nontransferable and cannot be sold or swapped. Scammers often use poor grammar and ask for payment via bank transfer, which lacks buyer protection. Legitimate entries can only be obtained through official channels, such as the ballot or charity participation. Runners are advised to be cautious and recognize the signs of scams.
