Police: Lawrenceville man disappears with over $750K in apparent Super Bowl scam

When Jayaben Shah gave her son, Ketan Shah, $36,000, she thought she’d receive Super Bowl tickets in return.

So too did Neel Shah, who has no relation to Ketan or Jayaben Shah, when he sent the Lawrenceville man $20,000.

But they, along with at least three other victims in Gwinnett alone, were wrong.

“I never got the tickets,” Neel Shah said. “I wired him $20,000. It was $5,000 per ticket.”

Just days ahead of the Super Bowl, Gwinnett police are looking for Ketan Shah, who is accused of disappearing with more than $750,000 that was supposed to pay for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
