 In June 2010 , Liverpudlian psychic Joe Power made allegations to the police that threats of violence had been directed towards him from members of the society on social media site Facebook . After police contacted the society in regards to the claims , a member was able to explain that the allegations were unfounded . In a statement on their website following the incident , they wrote " nobody involved with the Merseyside Skeptics Society – or anyone that I even know of – has ever made threats to Joe or his family , and we absolutely never will .
