NBA cautions fans to be wary of counterfeit All-Star tickets
With basketball fans from across the country heading to New Orleans this week for NBA All-Star 2014 on Sunday, Feb. 16, at New Orleans Arena, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has cautioned unsuspecting fans against counterfeiters attempting to sell unauthorized and poorly made knock-off merchandise. Counterfeiters not only victimize legitimate retailers in the New Orleans area, they also take advantage of basketball fans who believe they are purchasing authentic NBA gear, only to later learn they have purchased merchandise of inferior quality. Counterfeiters target major events, such as the NBA All-Star Game, where fans are eager to take home a memorable keepsake.
