Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation
Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation | NETCOT.com
Jason MacLaren has been arrested in Brevard County and named the suspect in the scams that ripped of dozens of Disney guest members. MacLaren, 23, would call guests rooms posing as a Disney employee selling deeply discounted tickets and asking for credit card numbers. This is not the first time he has been suspected of this crime, two years ago he was caught scamming 45 victims out of $30,000 at Disney. Investigators say they have surveillance video of MacLaren calling guests at the Polynesian Resort, Pop Century and Wilderness Lodge along with three other resorts. MacLaren is a former Disney employee and has enjoyed Walt Disney World since he was a kid. |

Re: Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation
I am glad they nailed him....also glad it wasn't a current employee doing it. My question is how was he conntecting to the rooms without inside help or info?

Re: Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation

Re: Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation
I am glad he got caught..but isn't that last sentence a little odd. He's been enjoying WDW since he was a kid?
 Random.

(At MK once I saw a mother daughter team working one of the post ride stores. The daughter was in a park stroller. The mother positioned the stroller and her self to shield the daughter and then daughter took items off the shelf and into a bag. I pointed it out to a CM. I wonder how many of these crews work the lines of guest??)

Re: Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation
I am so glad he has been caught- its so easy to think none of us would fall prey to a scam like that, but if he was calling internally I know for sure my elderly parents in law (who love WDW) would fall for that hook line and sinker purely based on the fact that the call was from inside the resort.

Re: Suspected Disney Scam Artist Arrested After Traffic Violation
I'm glad they caught him and I hope he does some serious jail time. He must have been in the lobby of each resort using a house phone because they have him on tape, that would mean he would have been in the lobby. I hope there's enough there to send him away for a long time.
