Louisiana woman pleads guilty in car dealership fraud conspiracy in Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A Louisiana woman pled guilty to one count of conspiring to commit wire fraud in connection with a scheme to use the stolen identities of others to purchase expensive vehicles in the Jackson-metro area.

According to court documents, in June 2023, Anna Waldei, 27, of New Orleans, and her coconspirators obtained the identity information of credit-worthy individuals, created false identity documents in the names of those individuals, and then posed as those individuals at automotive dealerships in order to apply for vehicle financing.

Prosecutors said Waldei and her coconspirators submitted credit applications and purchased or attempted to purchase vehicles from dealerships in the Jackson-metro area. The defendants traveled from Louisiana to Mississippi in a vehicle rented by Waldei.

Waldei is scheduled to be sentenced on June 25, 2025, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The United States Secret Service and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office are investigating the case through their partnership in the Cyber Fraud Task Force.
