My wife went down to LA to visit her sister during spring break. One of the things they were going to do is go to Disneyland.

In preparation for my wife's visit, my sister-in-law, being the cheapskate she is, decided to buy the tickets to Disneyland off of Craigslist.

Everything appeared to go fine with the purchase. She met the person, even called Disney to verify that the tickets were legit. All good.

So they get to the park this morning, only to be told the tickets were no good. They told the person at the counter that they called and verified the tickets were good just a few days before. Turns out, the person they bought them from somehow called and cancelled them, getting the money back.

Once they figured out what had happened, they called Burbank PD (where they bought the tix). Apparently this person had done this at least 5 times before! So, they had my sister's boyfriend call the person and pretend to want more tix, and had arranged to meet them later.

So, with Burbank PD in tow, off they went to meet up. Nailed the b*tch.

Got their money back, and BPD arrested the chick on the spot.


I don't know which would be more fun - going to Disneyland, or watching the scammer go to the slammer. Laughing

Agreed....the satisfaction of seeing someone hooked up in the back of a police car may actually be worth all the aggravation that proceeded this....

Happy to hear things worked out.

I love stories like this. The best is when they have videos of would be robbers getting their asses kicked by the people they were trying to rob. Smile

I like to hear stories about the scammer getting busted.. We actually cracked down on a international call center scam 2 years ago. Most scammers never get caught. I wish more people would take the time to bust like this.
