A 42-year-old man from Florida managed to trick dealership staff to let him take home a $140,000 Porsche 911 using a fake check printed with his home computer.
On July 27, Casey William Kelley stepped inside a Porche dealership in Okaloosa County and drove off with a new white Porsche 911. What’s impressive is that he used a useless piece of paper to trade for the expansive sports car. Kelley had printed a $139,203.05 check on his home printer. The staff let him go without waiting for the check to be cleared. It was probably the man’s confident attitude that the staff must have fallen for. He even asked the staff to take a picture of him next to the car.
The police report showed that the conman did not plan to stop at a Porsche 911. Seeing that his plan work, he came back home, printed another $61,521 check. The next day, he used the check at a jeweler. However, this time, the store owner did not let him go with three Rolex watches, not until he cashed the check.
By the time he was reported by the jeweler to have used a fake check, the Porsche dealership had realized he was a victim of the conman as well. The police had then arrested him. On July 28, he was taken into custody on a charge of fraud and a charge of theft of a motor vehicle.
