Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl again, and red and gold swag and merch are in high demand.
The Kansas Attorney General's office is telling fans to protect themselves against purchasing counterfeit NFL merchandise or falling victim to scams involving fake tickets to Super Bowl 55.
Here are some tips to not get taken:
Check the tag - All officially licensed NFL products will bear the league's shield on the tag.
Purchase tickets through a verified source - The Chiefs have offered NFL ticket exchange, StubHub and SeatGeek as examples of NFL-approved retailers to purchase or sell tickets to the game.
Beware of Door-to-door and 'pop-up stand' sales - Kansas law says that for any purchase of more than $25 made at your home, or any location that is not the seller's permanent place of business or local address, consumers have three days after the purchase is made to cancel the transaction. Companies are then required to refund the consumer's money within 10 days of receiving the cancellation.
Consumers who believe they may have fallen victim to a Super Bowl-related scam should contact their local law enforcement, or call the Kansas attorney general's Consumer Protection Division at (800) 432-2310.
