Jessica Simpson Scam Really Paid Off |
An East Rutherford
woman has been accused by authorities of amassing
more than $12,000 in free merchandise by claiming
she was Jessica Simpson's assistant.
Courtney Handel, 23, was arrested Friday. By Sunday,
she had been released from East Rutherford police
headquarters, where she had been detained. Police
said she faces charges of theft by deception, fraud
and trademark infringement.
Police said Handel sent e-mails and faxes to
companies posing as Simpson assistant CaCee Cobb.
Simpson, 25, stars as Daisy Duke in the upcoming The
Dukes of Hazzard film.
Handel told the companies the singer-actress had
expressed interest in their products. But she used
her own address, and when police detectives arrived
Friday, they said they found her home full of
merchandise.
"As we were standing outside, UPS pulled up with 12
more packages. We turned to each other and said, 'If
only all our cases could be this easy,'" Detective
Sgt. Jeff Yannaconi told the New York Daily News.
Frye boots, PH Advantage cosmetics, Pagliei jewelry,
Ted Rossi handbags, Peter Thomas Roth skin care
products and Fake Bake tanning products were among
the items, police said.
Police were arranging to return the products to the
companies.
