So some women find a federal officer to be attractive enough to buy them expensive cars? I'd figure some women would rather swoon over guys like Navy SEALs and the like, you know, high profile stuff.
A Missouri man has been accused of convincing a woman to buy him a Lamborghini and a Corvette as part of an online dating swindle that stretched across several states and encompassed at least three women, according to authorities.
28-year-old Timothy Rossell was arrested on October 13, and has been charged with one count of impersonating a federal officer and four counts of identity theft. According to police, Rossell was engaged in a con in which he would convince women to buy cars for him, drive them for a time, and then secretly sell them while telling the women the vehicles were stolen, KMOV.com reports.
Rossell had been living with his 27-year-old fiancee in Union, Missouri, under the identity of deputy U.S. marshal Austyn Gardner, according to court documents cited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. During their time together, Rossell convinced her to purchase him a Cadillac Escalade, a Shelby Mustang, and a Can-Am Spyder; he also opened several credit cards in her name, racking up tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
We haven't seen pictures of the women yet. He may be a real catch to them.
The article states that he was living with one of the three women. And he "dated" the woman in Florida although I suppose that could be cyberdating. So at least one of them knows exactly what he looks like.
