COLUMBUS, Ohio — As fans are looking to buy last-minute tickets to The Game this weekend, the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio is issuing a warning on the “peak week of scams.”
Ohio State plays Michigan this Saturday and it’s bringing tons of people to central Ohio. That also means scammers will be looking to capitalize on the opportunity.
“This weekend’s OSU tickets are such a hot commodity for unsuspecting buyers hoping for a break. Fans who normally would never click unknown links, respond to ads, or dare to dig for deals will do anything to be in person for the kickoff,” said President Judy Dollison.
The BBB says to be aware of these signs: if a person offers a hard-stock ticket or if the price is too good to be true. If someone offers to email something, but only after sending money, it’s likely not going to be a real ticket/
It is highly advised to not enter a transaction if you don’t know the person.
People should contact the Better Business Bureau and the credit card issuer if they’re a victim of a scam.
