Wed Feb 15, 2012 7:20 pm

Hi

Please be aware of a ticket scam by user name "dominator" who advertised on this site Thursday 26th January saying he had seats available for Wembley. He gave the name Alex Gill and gave his sort code, bank account and address details. He also gave out a mobile number. Money was paid into the account but tickets were never received. On further investigation it was found that the address that was given in Kent was false.

All this information was reported to the MET police and then passed to Greater Manchester police who are now investigating this.

Any help anyone can give will be much appercited

PS: Once he had been rumbled, he emailed Annis and asked him to remove his post advertising the tkts, maybe Annis has got copies of the pm from him which could help the police.

No probs mate, sorry to hear of your situation, may be worth posting a message on that Man City site too, sure they'd be more than happy to help bust him as he doesn't sound too popular with them too. Best of luck with it mate.

I mailed him as desperate for 2 tickets and asked him if he'd take a cheque. I'd have his address then but said he wanted money paid into account. Smelled a rat and pulled plug on it :ayatollah:
