Which? responds to Lloyds Bank's warning that Premier League football fans should look out for ticket scams

Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said:

"Scammers are always on the lookout for new opportunities to part people from their hard-earned cash and unfortunately, tickets to sought-after football matches are no exception.

"It's always best to buy tickets directly from the club or one of its authorised ticket partners rather than on social media. If you or a loved one do fall victim to a scam and you made a bank transfer then contact your bank immediately and report it to Action Fraud or Police Scotland.

“Most major banks are signed up to a voluntary reimbursement code and so should consider reimbursing customers who have been targeted by scammers. Victims may need to take their case to the Financial Ombudsman Service if their bank initially rejects their claim.”
