"charles godfrey" scam...

i'm embarrassed to admit i fell for this...

last night a man approached my family at chipotle on south blvd.

he complimented on our panthers gear and offered to give us free tickets for tonight's game. he looked just like charles godfrey.

he said he was on the way to a benefit at levine children's hospital, and would i mind donating to the hospital.

he was in a contest with the other players, blah blah blah.

all i had to do was give him the check and my email address...

i fell for it, but thank God i didn't write the check to him! i voided the check today.

i called the ticket office about my tickets, and this look alike has scammed almost a dozen people. the rep at the ticket office apologized and said that most people had been giving him cash....

i even found a forum online where people have posted to complain about this man. he's hit people up for money in the mall, and he's even been spotted going door to door.

This sounds similar to what happened at the Chili's on Tyvola--a friend of a friend, who was bartending at the time, (and some other patrons) got scammed by a guy who said he was a safety on the team, except he said he said he had tickets for the Monday Night game, he said he would give him like 6 tickets for $40. So they gave him the money, and he told them he would bring the tickets Friday.

I was pissed because my friend told me about it, and although I was skeptical, I was also excited because he said they were like 3rd row seats and he might have extras...

Keep an eye out on your bank and other things; if your check has your name/address/phone/etc, then even though you voided the check then the guy has that info along with your bank acct number and signature.

Likelihood of anything bad happening *should* be slim, but better safe than sorry.

    • According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.
    • You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.
    • @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
