FOX 35 Orlando reported that Alexandria Walker tried to "pull a fast one" at Baseline Auto Care Center in Ocala, FL after writing a check to pay for a BMW and even including a $100 tip for the workers.
Florida Woman Gives Fraudulent Check to Auto Shop to Buy BMW
Alexandria Walker, 28, visited Baseline Auto Care Center in Ocala on Oct. 11 and expressed her interest in buying a BMW, according to the sheriff’s office. She filled out all the paperwork and handed over a cashier’s check for the full amount of the car, plus a $100 tip.
However, when the auto shop tried to deposit the check, they were informed that it was fake and contacted Walker. She claimed that she would return to the shop to pay for the car, but she never did, the sheriff’s office said.
The stolen BMW was later found by the deputies, who discovered printers, blank checks, and an iPad in the trunk. The sheriff’s office said that Walker was involved in an organized fraud scheme and had previously been arrested in March on similar charges.
The sheriff’s office posted a photo of Walker on Facebook and urged her to turn herself in. The photo on the right appears to be a beauty pageant photo with the sash reading "Mrs. Marion County."
Her photos are seen below.
