Just thought I'd make everyone aware of my experience. I requested tickets on the Wembley ticket thread. Was contacted through a private message by a member going under the name of Aaron Taylor saying they had tickets. Many emails were exchanged & a screenshot of tickets and Driving Licence. I presumed as we are all part of the Sky Blue family and no one was going to scam me for just £120.00. I paid him money via internet banking for the tickets and a little on top for a few beers. Unfortunately since then nothing dispite numerous emails. As I live down south now it's hard to go and knock the door of the address given on the DL. That being said my son is going to knock later and I'll update you. Just wanted everyone to be aware thats all. I now have to try and purchase other tickets as I'm travelling back to Cov just so I can have the experience of travelling down with the SBA. If anyone knows this guy Aaron Taylor (probably works for SISU as he's got the right credentials) or anything else that maybe help me track him down I'd be greatful. I'll post up the DL and screenshot if you approve Nick. BEWARE and hopefully no one else gets burnt like me.

I had a quick look when I received it. Now on closer inspection the signature is just not the name on the DL. So I've been don!! It's a first.. I guess I dropped my guard as it was a felllow Sky Blue fan

There is the IP address too.
Also the screenshot from the order I will ask the club to authenticate.
Don't you also have the bank details? Speak to the bank.
It just seems a bit extreme to go to that length but he did seem dodgy so did put a warning up about him saying to do it in person

What a fucking c**t, share his credentials so we can post on many social media sites to hopefully track down the culprit. This is bang out of order!!

Unfortunately, the bank won't be able to do anything about it. Hope he gets given the two tickets from the other thread

It's just a standard BT connection, it would need the police to really look and dig further.

Does he not have a good case?
1. You have a screenshot of the seats. Therefore you know exactly where you should be sitting.
2. You have documented messages back and forth. These will surely show you entered into an agreement.
3. You have proof you paid the money and there will be proof that he has received the money.
4. The club or Ticketmaster can trace the booking and see who the tickets were issued to.
I would really get all over this like a rash if I were you. Bombard everyone and if you don't get anywhere then publicly state the seat numbers on here.

Would using a Visa debit card offer some protection like a credit card and the ninety day stipulation?
Pretty sure if you convince them the payment can be rescinded.

The problem is he could have made contact using a proxy hacked someones ticket master account for proof of purchase and carded a genuine bank card then transferred the funds to bit coins straight away. There could be no trace of him.

Think it was paid by bank transfer to the guy rather than card
Paypal would have offered some sort of backup if they didnt turn up.

I have 4.tickets available you have first refusal all in upper tier row 18 £23 each let me know either by PM or on here, sorry to hear of your problem, that won't be repeated by me I can assure you
I have contacted the club and hopefully they can look into it. If I don't hear anything I'll post up the DL for everyone to view. I've also had contact from a few people in regard to replacement tickets. Thank you to all of them people that have offered tickets. I'll be going at least and my faith has been restored in the SBA

Yes it would under the VISA/MasterCard chargeback scheme for non receipt of goods. But a transfer of money is risky because it has no protection, even if you sent to the wrong account by accident unless that other persons sends it back, then say bye to your money
I think he paid via bank transfer, not credit/debit card. I've also been done once via the bank transfer scam - no information out there about how dangerous it is to pay via bank transfer, you have absolutely no protection.
The rule is to never pay anyone via bank transfer unless you know them personally - there's loads of other ways to transfer payment, so there's no reason why anyone should require payment via bank transfer only.

Ooops!!
I did deals with people on here for tickets, who paid me by bank transfer and they didn't know me.
I must have a trustworthy (but smashable) face.
