Scammer selling fraudulent Disneyland passes on Craig’s List

I have said this before and I will say it again if you are not buying your tickets from an Authorized Disney Ticket Agent you are probably going to get burned..

This article come from the Glendale Star:

Arizona Department of Public Safety Detectives have identified 30 victims so far who have purchased fraudulent amusement park passes from a Craig’s List scammer. Following a two- month investigation DPS detectives assigned to financial crimes arrested a Phoenix area man for selling fraudulent passes to unsuspecting buyers. The suspect advertised the tickets and passes on Craig’s List and would meet the victims in person to sell groups of unvalidated passes stolen from area retailers for hundreds of dollars. Many of the victims and their families made the trip to southern California only to find out that the passes were of no value.

Angered and frustrated, victims contacted DPS detectives, who began a thorough investigation, which led to last week’s arrest.The suspect was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on charges of Fraudulent Schemes, a class-two felony. DPS is withholding the suspect’s photo so that other potential victims can have the opportunity to identify him through a photo line up.

Additionally, the suspect was not working alone. Victims were also sold passes from a female and others may be involved as well. DPS detectives said they believe the suspect and his counterparts have been selling fraudulent passes for at least three months.

Potential victims with any information are encouraged to call the DPS Duty Office at 602-223-2212, and ask to be forwarded to the Financial Crimes Unit. DPS would also like to alert citizens of frauds such as these and to check with a trusted retailer before purchasing items from an individual, or in other words “Buyer Beware.”

If a deal appears too good to be true, then it probably is.
