Man charged in scam
A 41-year-old Chicago man has been charged in Wisconsin with five counts of forgery on allegations he sold counterfeit NFC Championship game tickets. Kenneth Lee collected more than $4,000 from a handful of people after selling them tickets through the Web site craigslist, according to a criminal complaint filed in Brown County circuit court. The Packers lost to the New York Giants 23-20 in overtime in Sunday's game at Lambeau Field. About a dozen people paid between $300 and $900 for counterfeit tickets to the game. Some fans didn't find out their tickets were fake until they sat in the seats and were removed from the stadium by an usher once people with real tickets showed up.
