The sales of counterfeit ski-lift tickets, which cost as much as $50 each, have increased over the past several years, particularly outside Bear Mountain and Snow Summit ski resorts, San Bernardino San Bernardino, city, United States San Bernardino (săn bûr'nədē`nō), city (1990 pop. 164,164), seat of San Bernardino co., S Calif., at the foot of the San Bernardino Mts.; inc. 1854. County sheriff's Cpl. Ken Lutz said. ``Everyone looks like a skier out there,'' said sheriff's Cpl. Tom Shenton. ``And the story the (con artists) use is so believable be·liev·a·ble adj. Capable of eliciting belief or trust. See Synonyms at plausible. be·liev  a·bil . They'll tell people, oh, my friend didn't come and I have an extra ticket I can't use.'' Sometimes using a scalper's approach, the con artists work victims easily in parking lots, Shenton said. The dates on the counterfeit tickets are correct. Actual ticket backings from ski resorts have been used to fool people, a trick Shenton attributed to advances in technology. Employees at the ski resorts are being trained to identify the fakes, Lutz said. When a counterfeit is identified, the patron is taken away from the ticket window and questioned, said Brad Farmer, Big Bear Mountain Resorts spokesman. ``We have to make sure that they are not the person who created the counterfeit ticket in the first place,'' he said. Resort staff and law enforcement officials say the safest place to buy tickets is the resort box office. - Daily News |
