Georgia man arrested in $1.3 million fake UGA ticket scam

A Georgia man faces charges in connection with a University of Georgia ticket scam, authorities report.

Deputies in Jones County, central Georgia, say Matthew Timothy Neet advertised non-existent tickets online, scamming victims across the state.

Upon investigation, officers discovered that this incident was part of a larger plan. Authorities say Neet’s alleged scam has deceived more than 30 victims across the state, resulting in total losses estimated at $1.3 million.

Neet was arrested in Louisiana last week and later extradited to the Jones County Jail. He is currently detained without bail.
