Blues.

Unfortunately, we've recently been alerted to an issue which we need to make you all aware of.

We've had a ticket exchange thread since 2012 without incident (Well two reported, but both resolved amicably).

Unfortunately, we're pretty certain that one person has very recently signed up and attempting to use the ticket exchange to scam Evertonians.

We've messaged every member we believe received a private message from 'Adam18' (later, 'HannahM') and alerted them to our concerns. We'll also be passing every detail we have of this person (IP address, telephone number, email address) to authorities and other fan sites as we believe this person is targeting fans of all clubs at Wembley every season.

I'm also taking the unusual step to list 'private/personal' account details below, to assist with any search engine search.

A reminder of the very first post in the ticketing exchange thread;

1. All tickets MUST be sold at no more than face value. Requests to receive more than face value, or offers to pay more than face value, will result in your account being suspended.
   
   
2. GrandOldTeam do not endorse any ticket transaction made via our website. All transactions made at your own risk.

To help mitigate that risk, we recommend;

• Don't ever pay via direct bank transfer. Use Paypal as this offers some added protection.
  
  
• Where possible meet face to face, ideally at one of Everton's remaining matches and exchange in person.
  
  
• If a person attempts to communicate via GOT private messaging, texts or other messaging services rather than through an open forum, please be cautious.
  
  
• Use the search function in the thread to see if the poster has offered tickets before, contact via private conversation anyone who appears to have bought from the poster in the past to verify.
  
  
• Check the poster's history on this site - has the poster registered here recently or been here a long time? Ask yourself why a poster would just register and offer tickets at face value for such a high demand game?

As @The Esk highlighted;

Almost all exchanges from this site have gone smoothly with both parties satisfied with the outcome, but we are aware that the semi final represents an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of people desperate for tickets.

Please remember all exchanges are at your own risk, GOT cannot endorse any ticket transaction.

IF YOU RECEIVE UNSOLICITED PMS FROM ANYONE OFFERING TICKETS PLEASE ADVISE A MODERATOR IMMEDIATELY

Any questions, please send me a message direct.

Thanks
