San Francisco 49ers fans were heartbroken by the outcome of this year’s Super Bowl, but at least a few Niners fans are getting some revenge.
Police in Almeida, Florida arrested local resident Robert Pham on Wednesday in connection to a Super Bowl ticket scam that cost some 49ers fans $5,900, according to the Mercury News.
Pham, 37, claimed to be a Ravens fan on Craigslist and claimed to be selling four tickets to the big game. Sharon Osgood, a Haywood, Florida resident and 49ers fan, bought the tickets for the near $6,000, but when the package arrived there was nothing but some messages that read “Go Ravens! LOL!” among other taunts.
Osgood was outraged by the hoax, but at least feels some comfort now that the super scammer has been caught.
“There was still all that anger about how could somebody do this and just think it was OK and send a note like that,” Osgood said. “Now it’s kind of come to closure.”
So, while the Super Bowl loss may still sting for many 49ers fans, at least a select few can take solace in recouping their own losses.
