BBB warns of Oregon co. selling fake NFL merchandise

As we approach NFL Championship Sunday, the Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific is issuing a consumer alert about an alleged Oregon business, Sports Fans Goods.

Consumers have complained the company offers NFL-branded merchandise through its website www.sportsfansgoods.com but instead delivers phony imitations. In some instances, the goods are never received.

The business claims to be based out of Moro, Oregon but is not registered with the Secretary of State. Sports Fans Goods has yet to answer communications from the BBB regarding these complaints.

“This is a good reminder to always research retailers before you buy,” says Dawn Johnson, BBB marketplace manager. “Read online reviews and visit their BBB profile.”
