I just saw this article on AOL. People are amazing

Seven busted for slipping tourists a Mickey with bad tickets

Glad we bought AP's so we never have to worry about that happening to us...what is wrong with people? It seems like the world is getting worse and people will do just about anything for a dollar.

It amazes me how many schemes these ppl come up with to scam ppl. If they would just use their efforts for something worthwhile the world would be a much better place

Ya, but don't forget some of these buyers are trying to scam the system too. They are the same ones who buy FP on ebay so that they can use them in the parks or get the Guest Assistance card and really don't need them.

I can understand looking for discounts (pin codes/moussavers.com- we all do that) but I don't have any sympathy for people trying to pull a fast one.

If it's too good to be true it probably is.

I was thinking the same thing. Most people buying from people like this are trying to scam Disney too. Why aren't they researching who they are buying from. I even did a lot of research before buying from Undercovertourist because it seemed too good to be true.

[jimmymac]

Unbelievable what people will try to get away with

[cajunlace]

Horrible, just horrible. They take the magic out of a wonderful place.

Not much seems to surprise me anymore. I'm glad they were caught but trying
to buy something for nothing shouldn't be rewarded either.

Why can't people learn there is no free lunch????

Sad that people will do this.

Nothing new about this scam, alas.

I wouldn't be too hard on the people buying the tickets. In this case, the ticket scammers were operating out of storefronts on 192. Responding to a "Discount Theme Park Tickets" sign isn't exactly trying to scam Disney. We all try to get the best deal we can. Knowledgeable Disney fans are likely to know that, say, a 25% discount is "too good to be true," but how many less-savvy tourists know that anything beyond a few percent off on WDW or DL is suspect? (The very legitimate TKTS booth in New York's Times Square sells 100% authentic Broadway theater tickets at 50% off for same-day shows - so even a deep discount is not necessarily a warning sign to an experienced traveler.)

It is really sad that they have ruined their life to do something so stupid.

[roaminggnome]

That is pretty bad. The level some people will lower themselves too. Pretty Sad.
