The Super Bowl is right around the corner. The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be on the lookout for counterfeit memorabilia and phony game tickets.

Between now and Super Bowl Sunday, thousands of tickets will be listed on classifieds websites, offering buyers little protection from dishonest sellers. 

The BBB says, be skeptical of: Offers that sound too good to be true. Avoid pushy sales tactics. Be skeptical of poor quality of merchandise. And avoid offers that require wire transfers.
