The man allegedly gave a cashier's cheque that he printed from his home computer to buy the luxury car from a Porsche dealership in Destin, Florida. He drove off a brand new Porsche 911 from the outlet and the folks at the car dealership were not even aware that they had been duped.

The Porsche was reported stolen to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office only after it became apparent that the cheque worth $139,203.05 (over Rs 1 crore) was fake.

After getting away with buying the car with the fake cheque, Kelley used another fake cheque to buy three Rolex watches. He used a $61,521 cheque at a jeweller in Miramar Beach.

However unlike the car dealership, the jeweller held on to the watches while they waited for the cheque to clear at the bank. And without suspense the business found out that they had received a fake cheque.

Well, at least he got to drive the Porsche for a day, but that's about all.
