Monday the French authorities arrested 2 suspects accused of reselling tickets for Disneyland Paris that they got by using someone else’s credit card. They were caught at the entrance to the park.
This scam cost Disney 600,000 euros ($655,000) in lost revenue.
They bought a large number of tickets online with stolen debit cards and then resold them to people, according to the police. Disney originally filed the complaint in August 2014.
Investigators are now monitoring purchases made on Disneyland Paris’s site. They have people at the park entrance to stop this from potentially happening again.
The suspects were selling up to 30 tickets a day worth 84 euros each at 35 euros, according to prosecutors.
