Greensboro Woman Loses $1,000 in Stanley Cup Ticket Scam via Facebook Group

Rebecca Cornwell, a resident of Greensboro, North Carolina, fell victim to a ticket scam while attempting to purchase tickets for the Stanley Cup Final.

Cornwell was connected with the group's administrator, Sandy Stamper, who claimed to facilitate the purchase of two tickets for $500 each. After sending $1,000, Cornwell never received the tickets, and Stamper's account disappeared. Cornwell has since filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Facebook, and the North Carolina Department of Justice.
