The second of a two-woman team faces charges after Nassau County Police say they opened fake credit card accounts and used them to buy cars.
Cops said Cynthia Sibert, 24, of Hempstead, and Lori Furlow, 50, of Copiague, got their hands on a 34-year-old Wantagh woman's ID and used it to open two credit card accounts.
Using the fraudulent cards, they bought a 2012 Nissan Quest and a 2012 Nissan Versa in the victim's name, police reported. The purchase was made Jan. 2, 2013, cops said.
