* A California man was busted and hauled back to New York for swindling a former NYPD sergeant out of $25,000 for a car he never delivered, authorities said yesterday.
The victim, who is retired and from Huguenot, got mixed up with Chris Miranda, 38, of Santa Rosa, Calif., last year, when Miranda listed a 1997 Ferrari 355 Spider for sale on eBay, law-enforcement sources said.
Although the victim lost the eBay bidding on the car, he contacted Miranda and told him he was still interested in the vehicle if the deal fell through, the sources said.
Miranda later said the original buyer had backed out, and the victim sent him a $25,000 check with the promise that Miranda would take the car to a San Francisco Ferrari dealer, have it checked out and shipped, authorities said.
A month later, after not receiving the vehicle, the former cop notified the DA’s Office about the alleged scam. Investigators reached out to Miranda to get the money back, but he soon stopped returning their phone calls.
When the investigators flew out the California to collar him, Miranda allegedly said, “I didn’t think you guys would come all the way out here to get me.”
He was charged with grand larceny, a Donovan spokesman said.
