Firefighter Accused of Ticket Scam | Concord News

A Massachusetts firefighter is facing serious legal trouble after allegedly running a World Cup ticket scam, swindling over $14,000 from at least 30 people by falsely claiming access to tickets and refusing refunds. Prosecutors also accuse him of forging a letter from the Somerville pension board president, adding another layer of scandal. The city has placed him on paid administrative leave while he awaits trial, set for September, and he’s out on $250 bail. Defense claims he was just a middleman who got burned by a broker who failed to deliver. This case pits public trust against a career on the line — and the drama’s only just beginning.
