An NSPN spokesman said scammers are duplicating graphics from NSPN and using them on websites. Web searches for high school sports matchups turn up opportunities to view streams of games that then link to fake sites, where credit card information is sought.
The trouble began last year and was especially prominent during the high school hockey and basketball tournaments, Andy Price of NSPN said. This fall, football is the lure, and Twitter is being used to entice victims.
"Based on what I am seeing, it will be hard to stop," Price said. "Our hope is we educate as many potential viewers as possible."
Six players plus head coach Garrett Raboin and assistant coach Ben Gordon are from Minnesota. The tournament’s games will be televised starting Monday.
