A Florida man named Casey William Kelley is facing serious charges after allegedly using a fake banknote to buy a Porsche worth $140,000 from a dealership, as reported by Yahoo News.

The 42-year-old reportedly used his own computer and printer to create a very realistic-looking cashier’s check. However, his plan didn’t go as expected.

The dealership in Destin, Florida initially had no idea that the check Kelley provided was fake. He happily drove away with the car and title in hand, thinking he had successfully pulled off the fraud. But when the dealership discovered the truth, they immediately contacted the police.

Kelley felt so confident about his scheme that he went to a jeweler in Miramar Beach and tried to use another fake check, this time for $61,521, to buy three Rolex watches. Luckily, the jeweler was suspicious and decided to keep the watches until the check cleared. It turned out to be worthless, and the police were able to track down Kelley and arrest him.
