Top-Heavy Tart Rips off More Than Her Shirt

A one-time porn queen, using brazen beauty and come-hither eyes, ripped off six New Jersey banks to the tune of $40,000 in an identity-theft scam by dolling herself up in a black pinstriped power suit and heels and posing as an actual bank customer, police said.

The jiggly sexpot, known to the adult world simply as Farrah, but to police as Joy Marquart, 30, was busted at a Washington Mutual branch in Emerson on Monday after a teller realized her drivers' license was a fake, authorities said.

The bodacious blonde had successfully fooled tellers at other banks, in Emerson, Fair Lawn, Hackensack, Oradell, Ridgewood and Westwood in recent months, said Emerson Police Detective Sgt. George Buono. Each haul netted $6,000 to $7,500, he said.

But investigators believe the top-heavy tart was merely a gorgeous face fronting for a Big Apple-based identity-theft ring that recruited attractive, white, suburban-looking women to rip off bank accounts.

"She isn't the mastermind by any stretch of the imagination," Buono said.

Taking actual customers' names and account numbers, the thieves fashioned fake IDs with Marquart's mug on them, along with phony checks and debit cards, so that she could make withdrawals, Buono said.

Marquart was being held at the Bergen County Jail yesterday on theft charges in lieu of $105,000 bail.

Police are searching for Marquart's accomplices and were trying to figure out how they got hold of people's information.
