As the city of Houston prepares to host the 2023 NCAA Men’s Final Four from March 31 through April 3, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Houston is cautioning fans to be on the lookout for individuals and businesses attempting to sell unauthorized or counterfeit NCAA merchandise and tickets to Final Four games.
from March 31 through April 3, Homeland Security Investigations Houston is cautioning fans to be on the lookout for individuals and businesses attempting to sell unauthorized or counterfeit NCAA merchandise and tickets to Final Four games. High-profile sporting events, like the Final Four, often attract counterfeiters who prey on increased public demand to illegally sell counterfeit merchandise and tickets to celebrating fans who let their guard down.
To protect fans, HSI is working with the Houston Police Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the NCAA to aggressively target counterfeiters leading up to and throughout this year’s Final Four. However, HSI also recommends that the public take a few simple steps to protect themselves from counterfeiters to include:
- Shop only at authorized retail locations, rather than street vendors, flea markets or other questionable sources to purchase merchandise or apparel- Keep an eye out for items that are made of inferior quality of materials or that have no official sewn-in or screen-printed labels identifying the licensee
- If a deal seems too good to be true — it probably is. Criminals often use legit product photos on their websites, but sell a fraudulent product.University of Houston Cougars eliminated from March Madness, fans confident they'll be back next season
