JONES COUNTY, Ga. – A Georgia man is facing charges in connection with a ticket scam at the University of Georgia, authorities say.

Deputies in central Georgia’s Jones County say Matthew Timothy Neet advertised non-existent tickets online, defrauding victims across the state.

Upon investigation, deputies discovered that this incident was part of a larger scheme. Officials say the alleged Neet scam misled more than 30 victims nationwide, resulting in total losses estimated at $1.3 million.

Neet was taken into custody in Louisiana last week and later extradited to the Jones County Jail. He is currently being held without bail.
