“These alleged con artists trolled the Internet in a quest for cars they could steal through their fraudulent scheme,” said Porrino. “We will not let their predatory conduct go unpunished.” Lewis, Brantley and Vaitoska were also indicted on charges of second-degree conspiracy and theft by deception. Also indicted on those charges were Milagros Jimenez, 54, of Haines City, Florida; Heather Cater, 20, of Woodbridge; Saint Hardy, 32, of Elizabeth and Deborah Rodgers, 32, of Carteret. Lewis, Brantley, Jimenez and Rodgers were also charged with second-degree impersonation. Lewis, Brantley and Jimenez were charged with third-degree attempted theft by deception. Under the direction of Lewis, Brantley and Vaitoska, the intermediaries posed as buyers interested in vehicles advertised for sale on Craigslist. After arranging to see the cars, the intermediaries “purchased” the vehicles by presenting the sellers with fake and/or stolen identification and a counterfeit Bank of America cashier’s check, prosecutors say. The sellers, in turn, handed over the vehicles’ keys and title to the intermediaries. The “buyers” arranged to buy the vehicles in the late afternoon so that the private seller could not bring the checks to the bank that day. When the private sellers attempted to deposit the checks, they discovered they were counterfeit, prosecutors said. The bogus sales could not be traced to the intermediaries because they had used fake identification. Before the private sellers could discover the check was counterfeit, other intermediaries would take the vehicle titles to the N.J. Motor Vehicle Commission to transfer the title into their names. After successfully flipping the title into the new names, the intermediaries would sell the vehicle to a car dealership for cash, prosecutors said. Staff Writer Mike Deak: 908-243-6607;
