Feds: Brothers scammed ticket buyers out of $70K on Craigslist

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A federal grand jury has charged two Pittsburgh brothers with scamming more than 250 people out of more than $70,000 by offering to sell event tickets over the online want ad site, Craigslist.

An indictment on charges of conspiracy and wire fraud said the brothers, 29-year-old Daniel Isabella Jr. and 22-year-old David Isabella, advertised tickets they didn't have to concerts and other events, and instructed people to send or wire them money.

The alleged scam ran from January through September of 2012.

The FBI investigated the case.
