Law enforcement agencies in Florida are looking for a man who has been peddling fake Babe Ruth autographs to pawn shops.
Gold Coast Pawn in Bonita Springs on Florida’s west coast was victimized in April.
The shop’s owner says a man came into the shop, saying he needed some quick cash. The signature on the baseball looked like the Babe’s. There was even a certificate of authenticity.
Unfortunately, it appears the COA was a fake as well.
Gold Coast apparently isn’t the first shop to fall victim to the scam.
The Marco Eagle delves into what’s become a hot case.
