A Parkland woman lost $500 in a fake Disney ticket scam, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office summary of incidents from Nov. 3 to Nov. 9, 2026, published by Parkland Talk.
The woman told deputies she bought the tickets from an individual using the Venmo payment app sometime between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6. The seller sent her QR codes, but when she tried to use the tickets, Disney employees told her the codes were fraudulent. She reported the loss to authorities on Nov. 3.
The report is one of several entries in the weekly blotter for Parkland. Others include a man’s fatal fall from his wheelchair on Nov. 4, which BSO homicide investigators responded to, and an arrest on a domestic battery charge. The woman’s report did not name the seller.
For residents, the case is a reminder that tickets bought from private sellers on payment apps carry real risk. Deputies did not say whether any arrests have been made in the fraud case.
