I heard of them for the first time when I was in London this year.

Sambo-Chris, it's very easy to see that the UK site in question is a ticket broker site -- I checked out some of the tickets they're offering and found out that they'll be selling tickets to the upcoming Bruce Springsteen show in Finland for 195 euros a piece, even though the normal price of the most expensive ticket for that show will "only" be 69 euros. 
To put it simply, official and 100% legal and legit ticket agencies don't sell tickets with that kind of a profit margin.
In the UK, I should imagine that the two official and legal ticket agencies are Wayahead (www.wayahead.com) and Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.co.uk). If anyone knows any other official and legal ticket agencies in the UK (besides the venue box offices), please post the URLs here for the rest of us to see.
