Woman arrested for multimillion dollar, multi-year scam selling EPIC & IKON passes

The most surprising thing about this scam to me is that it took years to catch her.

She's lucky the government found her before Vail did, or she'd be sleeping with the fishes.

A South Carolina woman pleaded guilty in federal court today to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after she fraudulently sold “discounted” ski and snowboard passes, including Ikon, Epic, and other passes used at various Utah mountain resorts. In return, she received money through electronic payments, which she shared with her coconspirators.

Jamilla Greene, 34, of Fort Mill, South Carolina, was charged by felony information on December 1, 2025.

According to court documents, beginning in November 2020 and continuing through May 2024, Greene worked with others to obtain money by fraudulently selling “discounted” Ikon and Epic ski and snowboard passes, as well as individual resort passes. Ikon passes are offered through Alterra Mountain Company and allow access to winter resorts worldwide, including the following Utah locations: Deer Valley, Solitude Mountain, Brighton, Alta Ski Area, Snowbird, and Snowbasin. Epic passes, offered through Vail Resorts, Inc. likewise offer access to resorts throughout the world, including Park City. None of these resorts authorized Greene to sell “discounted” passes.

As part of the scheme, Greene and her coconspirators advertised “discounted” passes through targeted online postings in locations where ski resorts are located, including Utah. When individuals would respond to the advertisements, Greene communicated with them online and via text to gather necessary information, including names and addresses, for the purchase of ski passes. Once personal information was collected, Greene would use different bank card information to purchase ski passes at full price, knowing that bank card information was stolen and did not belong to the individuals to whom she was selling the “discounted” ski passes.

Upon purchase of the full price ski passes with the stolen cards, Greene would communicate again with the “discounted” ski pass purchasers to secure and direct payment through electronic platforms such as Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, and Apple Pay. Greene then took the money and deposited it directly into her and her coconspirators’ accounts.

Greene is scheduled to be sentenced February 24, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. before a U.S. District Court Judge at the Orrin G. Hatch United States District Courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.

I’m curious if she took any effort to appear legit to the buyers. Imagine texting with a rando to buy an Ikon pass.

Reportedly she advertised on social media, and had repeat buyers.

Caveat emptor. She must have had a boatload of stolen cc's. Once reported, you'd think they would use 2 factor identification. If they got their discounted tickets , well, good for them I guess - ignorance is bliss. Millions? 5 years? Its never enough once one gets the endorphins flying I guess.
