There’s more information on Jessica Wolcott, the Craigslist tart who pleaded guilty to extorting thousands of dollars from Gary Wandschneider, a 54 year old Pepsi Bottling Group senior executive. According to her lawyer, Susanne Brody, the extortion plot was hatched in anger after learning he was married. The New York Post reports a pattern of lies:
Months before Jessica Wolcott, 22, pleaded guilty to shaking down a Pepsi Bottling Group vice president, she hit the Web, claiming she was a multilingual high-paid marketer and hair model with a distinguished chemistry degree who wanted to fund everything from a furniture invention to a used-car purchase.
Online lender Jeff Danewitz said he "booted" Wolcott from his loan group last spring after she repeatedly changed her stories when lenders confronted her with serious questions about her claims.
"She’s a lying, cheating wench because she used her looks and her personality to woo lenders into a desperate situation that didn’t exist," said Danewitz, who operates the Fanafi Resource Financial Center.
"They saw her for the rat that she was by looking deeper."…
In postings on another lending Web site called Prosper, Wolcott sought $90,000 in loans – and spiced up the requests with photos of her wearing a tummy-revealing bikini top.
She claimed in those postings that she had a $60,000 marketing job, modeled for Pantene Pro-V shampoo, had a Johns Hopkins University chemistry degree and that her parents were dead.
Apparently her mom is still alive and she never attended Johns Hopkins.

She looks pretty doable though. You gotta admit that.
