At 4:50 p.m., a 21-year-old female student reported that a person not affiliated with the university bought Milwaukee Brewers tickets from the student using a fraudulent money gram. The subject bought the tickets on Facebook and stated that he would send a money gram that would greatly exceed the cost of the tickets if the student could send the remaining money to a third party via Western Union. The student sent the remaining balance of $798 to the third party and paid a $66.99 fee for the wire transfer. The bank later discovered that the money gram was counterfeit, and returned it to the student. The Milwaukee Police Department was contacted and advised the student to report the scam to an ongoing federal investigation with U.S. postal inspection.
