Purchasing Super Bowl XL tickets online has raised a red flag for one local woman, and Rescue 4 Undercover explains the information you need to know so you won't fall victim to a scam.

"There are tons of fraudulent tickets for sale on eBay," said Donna Klein, who calls herself "The eBay Lady." "People say they have tickets, but they don't have them."

Klein is an eBay expert, and for Super Bowl XL she will be catching con artists who are trying to sell tickets that are fraudulent.

Over the past two weeks, Klein was able to catch 20 Super Bowl scammers on eBay, Rescue 4 reported.

"I hate when bad guys win and I've talked to too many people who've lost money to these scammers," she told Rescue 4.

Klein follows a particular process: when she finds a red flag on auctions offering Super Bowl tickets she informs eBay, and the auction is shut down.

Though Klein sees page after page of Super Bowl tickets on eBay, she said there are legitimate sellers on eBay, but consumers should do their homework.

"Ask your seller to use escrow.com," she said. "It is the only partner with eBay and the only guaranteed safe way for you."

According to Klein, there are signs to determine if you are dealing with a scam artist.

If You're Considering Bidding

Ask if you can pick up tickets in person and exchange for cash.

Ask the methods of payment the person will accept. Western Union and Money Gram are definite frauds.

Ask details about seat location and more.

Communication with the seller will give you a sense of the truthfulness.

Beware of emails that seem to be from eBay guaranteeing the honesty of a seller. eBay does not send these types of messages.
