Can I just ask that you DON'T post any personal details/email addresses on here. If necessary PM them to one of us and, more importantly, pass them onto the police.

Also, while he certainly has plenty of previous, we can't be 100% sure it's our old friend Mr Gill. Let the police/MEN do their job.

The guy is an absolute tosser.
I remember him messaging me numerous times.
"lens me 20 quid into my bank account, and next week I'll give you 50 quid in return when I get paid"

I'm sure I saw him queuing up at the ground the other year for cup final tickets.

**** of the highest order!

You might want to inform the police. If it is the same person he may well be setting up bank accounts in false names. This becomes more than just ticket fraud

I have spoke to my bank and "frank Barnes" a/c is the Natwest in Bolton.

I have emailed the GMP Fraud team and told them the situation and to contact me if they want his a/c and mobile details. Still waiting!

Has anyone reported this to the police and have a referance number? I have reported it today and it would be handy to give the police all the linked referance numbers for anyone scammed?

I've been had by Merlin21 this week. £85. Seems like I've fallen into the same trap. Gutted!
