Well, that didn't take long.
I kind of figured there would be no shortage of scammers looking to take advantage of the massive interest in the pope's visit to our area in late September.
I wasn't wrong.
There are reports this morning that an item has popped up on Craigslist touting "early access" to those prized papal passes SEPTA is using for the regional rail system for those two days on Sept. 26-27.
Don't but them. It's bogus.
SEPTA spokesman Jerry Williams assures that no sales will take place until the lottery kicks off at 12:01 a.m. on Monday. Those interested in the passes will have until 11:59 Monday night to put their name into the lottery.
Everyone has an equal chance of hitting the lottery - and scoring the prized ducats.
In the meantime, the region seems to be dealing with a case of high anxiety when it comes to the visit by Pope Francis.
And don't forget to pick up a copy of the Sunday Times for a complete rundown on SEPTA's plans for the regional rails in Delco for the papal visit. We'll tell you everything you need to know.
