A St. Paul woman faces charges for running a scam in which she would sell people football tickets she didn’t actually have, according to a report.
City Pages reported that Allie Heutmaker — who used to live in River Falls, Wisconsin — allegedly messaged people on Facebook, and upon receiving her money, usually a Venmo request or Facebook Pay, she would not send over the agreed-upon ticket or tickets.
“In total, [Heutmaker] swindled those individuals in excess of $3,000,” said a complaint obtained by City Pages.
Heutmaker admitted to police that there were never any actual tickets, per the complaint obtained by City Pages.
She allegedly tricked people into thinking she had Vikings tickets or Packers tickets. She will make her court appearance in Wisconsin come April, and make one in Minnesota in early June.
City Pages reported that many people who Heutmaker scammed don’t think they will ever get their money back.
