Reece Calvert paid £295 for EFL Cup final tickets only to find they were fake

A Newcastle United fan is urging other supporters to be "careful" after being sold fake tickets to the EFL Cup final.

Reece Calvert, 28, was told on a WhatsApp group that someone was selling tickets for the club's 16 March Wembley clash with Liverpool.

Mr Calvert spent £295 on tickets for himself and his seven-year-old son but suspected it to be a scam after receiving emails which contained errors like the wrong date and seats.

"The most gutting thing about this is I've had to tell my son we're not going to Wembley," he said.
