Scam warning: Ryan Van Laeys said he lost thousands of dollars in a ticket scheme during the World Series and fears the suspects could strike again.
As the clock ticks to the Super Bowl kickoff Sunday, there will likely be some fans buying last-minute tickets.
Van Laeys said he found tickets available on Facebook from a man named Norman Stevenson and a woman he claimed was his wife, Janet. Van Laeys said he paid $8,300 cash for four tickets, which he immediately transferred through the MLB app. A few hours later, he said Norman called him again and said he had more tickets. Van Laeys sent the couple a Venmo an additional $2,800.
"So recent that the credit card companies hadn't even caught on yet," said Van Laeys. "And when they did, they notified Major league baseball who retracted the tickets."
