BRASILIA, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- With still seven years to go before Brazil hosts the 2014 World Cup, there are already people trying to take advantage of the event, according to an article published Thursday by the Brazilian newspaper "O Dia".
Even thought the price of tickets and sales dates are yet to be divulged, some people are using a networking web page called Orkutto pre-sell tickets,
An online user calling himself Palomon Chunchon went so far as to announce tickets for the opening day game that, according to him, will be between Italy, who won last year's cup, and another team.
Nevertheless, he forgot that there is another World Cup that will be played before Brazil hosts, in 2010, in South Africa.
The high prices, the association as a scalper and the failure to announce the time of the game caused suspicion.
The majority of the members of the online community "Brazil, sede da copa em 2014 (Brazil, host country of the 2014 World Cup)",where Palomon placed his add did not believe the information. Furthermore, they began to make fun of him.
Many members of the on-line group claim that he is an accurate representation of Brazil: a country full of hustlers.
Those responsible for the online community where Palomon announced the tickets were fast to take out the topic created by the vendor. And Chuchon, or who claimed to be him, decided to cancel his profile in Orkut before the case became a police affair.
