Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt advised consumers to protect themselves against purchasing counterfeit NFL merchandise or falling victim to scams involving fake tickets to Super Bowl 55.
Attorney Gen. Schmidt offered the following tips for making a purchase related to the Super Bowl:
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.
And 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 attorney general's Consumer Protection Division at (800) 432-2310.
