Florida Woman Charged With Buying 10 Cars in 8 Days by Claiming She Earned $180K a Month as a Restaurant Manager
A South Florida woman is facing a stack of felony charges after investigators say she helped pull off one of the more brazen auto loan fraud schemes in recent Miami-Dade County memory. Dunia Sierra, 38, allegedly walked into multiple car dealerships over eight days and drove away with a small fleet of vehicles, including a Corvette Stingray, a BMW i8, and three Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

The only problem? According to authorities, the income she listed on her loan applications was completely made up.

Investigators with the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Organized Crimes Bureau Auto Crimes Task Force say Sierra's loan paperwork listed her as the general manager of a Miami Lakes restaurant pulling in more than $180,000 a month, according to WSVN 7News. In reality, she worked there as a waitress and cashier and had never held any kind of management role at the establishment.

That is quite the promotion on paper.

Sierra was arrested on Thursday and is being held on a $26,000 bond. She is charged with organized fraud, grand theft, and vehicle-related fraud. Her case is just one piece of a larger investigation into what authorities describe as a sophisticated fraud ring involving dealership finance managers, auto brokers, and so-called "straw buyers" across Miami-Dade County.
