Sports fans who have refused to pay up say they were accosted by the scammers.
A threatening new twist to an old scam is now causing fear among drivers heading to the ballpark.
"It's kind of an extortion in a way," said Ryan Cauley as he described how the operation worked."They had the yellow vests on, and they had a fist full of cash, which give them the appearance they are legit." "He went around to my side of the vehicle," said Jacky."And he was swearing at Ryan because Ryan said no. And at that point, he started swearing very loudly and he started kicking the car." The Cauleys decided at that point to turn around and go home.

The team also set up signs warning drivers to,"Say no to scammers".
