Do you wish to attend finals of the 54th Eurovision Song Contest in Russia?  Why not, spammers have made it seem easy to grab those hard to get tickets for the event.

Eurovision is one of the most prestigious annual competitions held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union. The competition runs from May 12th-16th with the 16th being the Grand Final.

We've recently come across some Russian spam emails that attempt to sell tickets to the Grand Final. The email even claims to offer free home delivery of the tickets. There is no URL in the message to buy tickets, but instead an obfuscated phone number is provided at the bottom of the email to contact for further communication.

Below are a few of the subjects observed in the recent spam campaign:

Although these tickets are in high demand, the supply should always be from a legitimate source. Fans should be on their guard and be sure to check the legitimacy of these emails to avoid buying tickets from touts or bogus sources. Taking some time to research a little can save you not only money but a great deal of heartache.
