BOSTON — Boston police are warning New England Patriots fans to be careful of counterfeits when buying tickets for this weekend's AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Police say a man walked into a station on Wednesday to say he had been scammed by a man he had connected with through Craigslist.
The victim said after making the online connection, he met the suspect and exchanged money for the tickets. The victim learned a short time later that the tickets were counterfeit. The suspect identified himself as a resident of New York. Police did not say how much the victim paid for the tickets.
