England Hockey have received reports of people receiving calls regarding the EuroHockey Championship in 2015 - it may be a scam! read on and beware.

Message from England Hockey:

"We have been made aware of fraudulent activity involving the purchase of EuroHockey Championship 2015 tickets in the Yorkshire area.

As far as we’re aware, the scam involves someone making phone calls posing as England Hockey to take bank details, and in some cases arranging ticket purchase and delivery and then posing as a courier and picking the tickets up from the recipients’ address.

In some cases the person calling has been targeting Umpires and offering Umpire shirts if they book tickets.

Please be aware that for this particular event we are NOT taking bank details – do not give out your bank details for tickets relating to EuroHockey 2015, and if you receive a delivery of tickets, do NOT then allow them to be collected by anyone posing as a courier.

If you are in any doubt about the validity of a call in relation to tickets, ask to call back, and call England Hockey’s reception line - 01628 897500. We are using See Tickets as a ticketing agency for this event, and an England Hockey member of staff to co-ordinate sales – we do not use any other call centres, and our numbers will not come up as withheld.

We are only aware of this in one region, and with very few cases – please do not be alarmed if you have made an online purchase as See Tickets’ bookings are secure. If you still have concerns, you can visit www.seetickets.com/customerservice where you can check the validity of your order.

If you have any other questions, please call us, via our reception line 01628 897500"
