A Milford man’s latest scam finally caught up with him: Marc Anthony Alexander, 45, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for running a fake business and impersonating an FBI agent, authorities announced today.
The scheme unfolded in 2022 when Alexander, using his business Traveling Graces, LLC, scammed a Connecticut resident out of $167,000, claiming it was an investment opportunity, according to court documents. The victim had met Alexander on a dating app.
But Alexander’s troubles didn’t end there. In May 2024, he impersonated an FBI agent, sporting a fake badge and carrying a 9mm pistol, to get extra parking spaces at his residential community, authorities said.
It’s not Alexander’s first brush with the law. He was previously convicted of a $300,000 postal money order scam and a $1 million car financing scheme in 2017. He was released from federal prison in February 2023 and was on supervised release when he was arrested for DUI in Stamford.
