If you’ve bought or sold Notre Dame tickets from scalpers, you might want to check your money.

South Bend police say a Chicago man was given counterfeit money for his football ticket.

The man says last weekend he sold leftover Washington tickets to scalpers near Notre Dame Avenue and Angela Boulevard.

When he got back to Chicago, his bank said most of the money he deposited was counterfeit.

Police say be on the lookout during the upcoming USC game since they expect a high turnout of scalpers.

If you’ve received counterfeit money from a scalper, call Crime Stoppers or South Bend police at 235-9201.
