Scam in Santee: Teens Pretend to be Santana Baseball Players in Need

News outlets are reporting that one or two teens went door-to-door to all of the homes on Huntingride Court in Santee last week and told residents that they were part of the baseball team and needed to raise money to travel to a game.
