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.
