A VICTIM of the eBay fraudster who conned rugby fans desperate to get Grand Slam decider tickets says the teenager should be locked up again.

Nick Price, who lost £7,000 in Phillip Shortman's latest internet scam selling bogus tickets for the Wales v Ireland match, said: "I hope he gets the sentence he deserves, which is a custodial one."

The call is echoed by Wales Millennium Stadium chief executive Paul Sergeant who said: "I hope they throw the book at him."

At Abergavenny magistrates yesterday, Shortman, 18, formerly of Chester Close, New Inn, but now of The Twinings, Cwmbran, admitted obtaining property by deception. Sentencing was adjourned.
