NEW YORK — Alec Baldwin says he fell for a “scam” Statue of Liberty tour.

The Daily News reports the shuttle bus transports passengers from downtown New York to New Jersey, where they get on a boat that offers views of the Statue of Liberty.

A message was left with the tour operator that apparently sold Baldwin the tickets.
