KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A suburban Kansas City automobile dealer used personal information from customers and others who filled out credit applications to receive more than $1 million in fraudulent car loans, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said Tuesday.

Terry Lee Morrow Jr. stole the identities of at least 44 people through a car dealership in Missouri before moving to Illinois and creating another dealership, Koster said at a news conference.

In Missouri, Morrow used personal information he gleaned from customers and people who filled out online credit applications on Edge Auto’s websites to obtain $1,036,522 in fraudulent car loans that he then sold to auto finance companies for more than $470,000 in cash, Koster said.
