The Williamson County Sheriff’s Department is warning the public about a new scam going around.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office reported that they had received a complaint of fake tickets purchased locally through Facebook.

The tickets appear to be real and the buyer wasn’t aware that they were counterfeit until they tried to present them to staff at Holiday world.

According to the amusement park, staff there have collected over $2,000.00 worth of fake tickets from the Southern Illinois area.
