Authorities Say Woman Used Stolen Bank Info in "Multi-Year, Multimillion-Dollar" Ski Pass Scheme

A South Carolina woman pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after participating in a multimillion-dollar scam that fraudulently sold “discounted” Epic, Ikon, and other ski passes, according to the District of Utah U.S. Attorney’s Office. 

The accused, Jamilla Greene, started the elaborate scheme in November 2020 and continued it through May 2024, prosecutors said.

She and her co-conspirators advertised “discounted” passes through targeted online postings in ski country, including Utah. Then, Greene collected personal information from people interested, like their name and address, for the purchase of the passes. 

But instead of paying full price for the passes herself, Greene used stolen bank information that didn’t belong to the people she was buying passes for.

After receiving payment from the people who bought the “discounted” passes through platforms like Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, and Apple Pay, she took the money, depositing the funds in her and her co-conspirators’ accounts.

It goes without saying that Greene didn’t receive authorization to sell the “discounted” passes on behalf of the resorts in the first place.

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera called it the largest case of fraud her office has investigated since it reinstated its Law Enforcement Bureau in 2024, which includes an investigation division.

Greene was charged by felony information on December 1, 2025.

While prosecutors didn’t share the exact number of “discount” passes that were fraudulently sold, U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak called it a “multi-year, multimillion-dollar scheme” that victimized resorts, skiers, snowboarders, and people whose bank information was stolen, which could “impact the trust of snow enthusiasts who seek passes annually to visit our resorts.”

“Fraud in any form will not be tolerated, and it is my priority to continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute the individuals involved and seek justice for the victim,” Holyoak added.

The case is being jointly investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) and the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Green’s sentencing is scheduled for this coming February.
