Ouch.  I would have been SICK.  Maybe it’s just me, but unless I know the person – I’m not trusting or buying anything from anyone!
49ers season ticket holder Sharon Osgood wired $5,900 to a man on Craigslist who claimed to be selling four tickets to the Super Bowl, but she got something else instead.  Don’t worry folks there is a happy ending to this story.  Report after the jump…

According to Mike Rosenberg at Mercury News:

Like many determined San Francisco 49ers faithful, a Hayward couple spent last week scouring the Web looking for Super Bowl tickets.

They found on Craigslist what they thought was a fair price: $5,900 for four seats, about double face value — even if they’d have to send their money cross-country to a dreaded Baltimore Ravens’ season ticket holder.

So after emailing, texting and talking with the seller on the phone for a week, they wired the money to his credit union. On Monday, the highly anticipated package arrived — by FedEx.

Instead of Super Bowl tickets, inside was a picture of quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco with a message underneath that read: “Enjoy the game!!!! Go Ravens!!! LOL.” *PHOTO ABOVE IN GALLERY*

“I’m just sick — like, physically sick,” said Sharon Osgood, a 49-year-old Hayward resident. “All over the envelope it says ‘go Ravens’ — even on the FedEx label.”

Update — The good news:

After this newspaper’s story on the couple was read around the country Tuesday, Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard called Hayward resident Sharon Osgood to offer four free tickets for her, her boyfriend and other family members who got scammed. Hubbard also arranged for Osgood and her partner to have breakfast with NFL legend Troy Aikman.
