According to the Walnut Creek California Police Department:
The Walnut Creek Police Department recently investigated several cases of fraudulent Disneyland Park passes being sold on Craigslist. The suspect arranged to meet victims in person and sell them the passes at a discounted rate. A young female the suspect identified as her daughter always accompanied her when meeting victims.
The suspect often included a fraudulent receipt to show she had purchased the park passes. Victims usually paid several hundred dollars for the passes and only discovered they were fraudulent when they tried to use them at Disneyland. Walnut Creek PD has three confirmed cases involving the same suspect. The investigation uncovered two more victims in San Ramon and an additional two victims in Pleasanton. Officers from these three agencies identified Lisa Cassinelli of Pleasant Hill as the suspect in this case.
On 6/11/11 Walnut Creek officers served a search and arrest warrant at Cassinelli’s Pleasant Hill residence. Officers recovered additional Disneyland Park passes and information indicating there may be other unidentified victims of this scam. Most of the evidence indicates the victims are likely from Contra Costa County and the greater Sacramento area.
Cassinelli was arrested and is currently in the Contra Costa County Jail with a bail of $60,000.
If you or someone you know purchased fraudulent Disneyland passes from Cassinelli please contact your local police department or Walnut Creek PD Officer Gabe Mauro at 925-943-5844.
