The Ting Tings slam 'That's Not My Name' cash-in

The Ting Tings have hit out at a former friend who has been selling rare copies of the band's Number One single, 'That's Not My Name', for around �60 each online.

The band originally pressed up 500 copies of the single last year, with the rare vinyl record now hot property since the band became a Number One-selling act.

Writing on Thetingtings.com, the band urged fans not to fork out for the singles.

"Unfortunately, when we put out our first vinyl copies of 'That's Not My Name' with a friend last year for kicks, she kept some back and is now trying to sell them to you guys for �60 apiece," they wrote. "This is nothing to do with us.

"We would never charge that money for our singles. Cashing in is shocking. We pressed up 500 copies which we put on our credit card because we had no money."
