Man Allegedly Sold Fake Super Bowl Tickets On Craigslist

POSTED: 4:12 pm PST January 31, 2007
UPDATED: 7:21 pm PST January 31, 2007

Clackamas County authorities have arrested a man who they said sold fake Super Bowl tickets on Craigslist.org.

Warwick Steven Janetzki, 26, was arrested last week after deputies said he received money for tickets he never sent.

The victim, from Clarendon Hill, Ill., told authorities $1,200 was wired to Janetzki for tickets, but the tickets were never received.

Deputies then arrested Janetzki on theft and computer crime charges.

Since the initial arrest, detectives have discovered at least four more alleged victims.

A woman from Vernon Hill, Ill., said she wired Janetzki $4,500 for tickets. After she didn't receive the tickets, the victim traced the suspect's location through PayPal and then contacted the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

A man from Chicago, Ill., also said he was scammed out of $10,000 in a deal for Super Bowl tickets with Janetzki, deputies said.

Warwick scammed a total of $15,000, according to authorities.

Clackamas County detectives said they’re confident most of the money will be returned to the victims.
