A man from the Boston region has entered a guilty plea to three charges of wire fraud, wherein he defrauded three potential car buyers. The 34-year-old Quincy, Massachusetts resident allegedly pretended to be a Boston Police Detective, a Massachusetts State Police Trooper, and a County Sheriff, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
In actuality, he never occupied any of those roles. He had, however, spent six months as an officer with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. Still, he appeared at the Suffolk County House of Correction to meet with the potential purchasers wearing a convincing jail guard outfit consisting of black boots, blue tactical pants, and an officer academy hoodie.
The con artist claimed to be able to offer repossessed cars at deep discounts since he had access to them. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi were among them. According to MassLive, at least three people were defrauded of a total of $6,400, despite the fact that no actual cars were displayed during these encounters. According to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office, “individuals gave tens of thousands of dollars,” but it did not name anyone besides the three victims.
