Thieves Busted In Multi-Park Ticket Scam

Posted: 6:08 pm EDT August 14, 2009Updated: 11:45 pm EDT August 14, 2009
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. -- A ring of Osceola County thieves was shut down after police discovered they made $130,000 off Walt Disney and Universal Studios customers by exploiting the parks' multi-day passes.Eyewitness News learned that biometric technology at the park gates helped blow their cover. The technology electronically attaches your ticket to your fingerprint and that's how the suspects were caught. Detectives say they will never really know just how much money tourist were taken for at several ticket shops where the 'open' sign glowed brightly until Eyewitness News had questions."Hey, can we ask you about this guy who was arrested," WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked."No," someone inside replied, turning the 'open' sign to 'closed.'Four men were arrested for allegedly scamming tourists out of at least $130,000, essentially duping unsuspecting tourists with multi-day passes."If the guest only used one day of the passes they would ask them to bring them back for a nominal refund, then they'd sell that ticket to another guest," said Twis Lizusuain of the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.However, new biometric technology was the downfall of the operation. Disney and Universal both log fingerprints and monitor who is using some of their most expensive tickets. Eyewitness News was contacted by security at Universal and Disney when guests started complaining that their tickets weren't working. Detectives say the four suspects were working from various locations around the county, all allegedly pulling the exact same scam."They did know each other; one has done this before and has been arrested on numerous occasions for this crime," Lizusuain said.The names of the suspects have not been released. Investigators say it's simple to avoid the scam by keeping away from off-site ticket sales and go straight to the theme park for your tickets.

Goedkope tickets? Gebruikte tickets waar nog dagen op over zijn :)
Als Disney dit zou willen voorkomen zouden ze tickets waar nog dagen op over zijn kunnen omruilen voor een waardecheque oid. Dat voorkomt dat die tickets weer in omloop komen...

Goeie zaak! Jammer voor het forumlid dat vaste klant bij deze jongens is en die ons hier nog niet zo lang geleden wilde doen geloven dat 'het strikt persoonlijke karakter' en de 'zogenaamde vingerafdrukken' bij de tickets grote onzin is.

Terecht dat dit aangepakt wordt. Door misbruik als dit zijn de "legale" tickets ook duurder.
