SHANGHAI - Do not give away your used Expo tickets to strangers, police officers warned visitors.
Like many others who had a long, tough day in the Expo Garden, Ms Yu, a 25-year-old reporter, left the site from Gate 6 as night fell. When she departed, she was approached by a group of strangers.
"Whispering, they asked if I had a used ticket to sell for 5 yuan (73 cents)," said Yu. "They already had several in hand."
