=not even the different teams of officers patrolling the city streets outside Guaranteed Rate Field. The scammers are so bold they continued preying on White Sox fans – selling fraudulent parking passes last season, right in front of authorities.Jim Chessare is grateful to hear that after our October investigation struck a nerve.
Chessare says he fell for the scam last July, when he took his wife to a White Sox game for her birthday.What happened to Chessare was a bit different from other schemes. As he approached the official White Sox parking lots, around Pershing Road and Princeton Avenue, several men wearing bright colored vests approached his car. They appeared to be parking attendants and asked Chessare for $30 to park.
Scott Reiffert, vice president of communications for the Chicago White Sox, said the organization knows of others who lost money to these parking conmen. Reiffert went on to say, “I think frustration, right. I mean, we care a lot about our fans and our customers and from the moment they leave their front door to the moment they get to the ballpark.”“Disappointed,” responded Reiffert. “Amazed, but then not amazed, at the extent some people will go to basically scam someone.”
This happened to me about 10 yrs ago for a Sox vs Yanks game. People directed us 2 a newly, yet undeveloped residential area & we came thisclose to handing over $20 until I saw signs saying it was private area & would be towed. We drove away fast & the people ran away.
