FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots reminded their fans to beware when buying tickets for Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

The team sent out a media advisory Friday that read: "Yesterday a posting was put up on Craigslist promoting the sale of AFC Championship Game tickets. An individual who purchased the tickets realized the tickets were counterfeit and called the police. An arrest was made in Somerville of four individuals from New York who had been selling in the Saugus, Billerica and Somerville areas. ... We are cautioning fans in the greater Boston area to beware of secondary market purchases of Patriots tickets for this weekend's game. The only verified sellers of Patriots tickets are the Patriots ticket office and Ticketmaster."
