Peter the Bubblehead sends us link to the UK’s Daily Mail<\/a> which tells the tale of Jeremy Wilson, a 42-year-old con man who just got out of jail in November for some of his scams. His latest involved Wilson posing as a wounded soldier.<\/p>\n

He had used bogus military documents to pose as a military war hero, ‘basically a wounded warrior’, to lease the vehicle in Boston, said NYPD Sgt. Mark MacDonnell. <\/p>\n

The fraudster had changed the license plates affixed by the dealer and replaced them with ‘Purple Heart’ tags, according to MacDonnell.<\/p>\n

The conman was wearing a ‘Wounded Warrior’ hat, military-style dog tags and a Harvard Law School sweatshirt when he was busted, MacDonnell said.<\/p>\n

Wilson also used the large amount of funds he fraudulently obtained to rent out a two-bedroom apartment at 10 Hanover Square, an expensive residential high-rise in Manhattan….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What? No service dog? That’s probably how they caught him.<\/p>\n

Wilson is believed to have past convictions for similar scams in Indianapolis, Pennsylvania and California, investigators said, although they said they are still sorting out his many aliases. He was recently released from federal prison after his latest fraud-related conviction, police said.<\/p>\n

After Wilson ran up more scams in New York, Homeland Security investigators and NYPD detectives duped him into turning himself in this week, officials said. They towed the BMW from his Hanover Square building in the Financial District and told him it had been taken as possible evidence from a shooting and that he could come retrieve the vehicle. When Wilson showed up at the 10th Precinct station, police arrested him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
