TAMPA, FL — Tampa Bay Lightning fans are once again being reminded to watch out for ticket scams as the Bolts continue their playoff march.

The latest warning from the Tampa Police Department on the topic came Tuesday afternoon. This time, however, police said that their suspicions that counterfeiters would be out in force during the team's Stanley Cup Playoff run have been validated. "Police officers confiscated approximately 25 counterfeit tickets that were turned into the box office during the May 20 game versus the Penguins," and email from the agency stated. With that in mind, officers are "urging hockey fans planning to attend the Lightning games in Tampa to beware of scammers armed with fake tickets."

Detectives are still working to determine who is responsible for selling the fake tickets. They are asking any additional victims that may be out there to come forward so they can find the person or people responsible. For those still looking for tickets, police say those who purchase through private sellers are taking a risk.

"Before fans 'bolt' to exchange cash for tickets with a private seller they should arrange to meet at a police department or public place where there are surveillance cameras," the agency recommends. "If possible, take a photo of the ticket seller's ID, or take a photo of the tag on their car." The Lightning play round six in the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday night in Tampa. Game seven, if needed, will be played in Pittsburgh. The winner will move on to the Stanley Cup Finals.
