Nasser

WHITE PLAINS – An Ardsley man has been arrested on a five count Westchester County indictment charging him with grand larceny and scheme to defraud among other charges, for allegedly scamming women online. He conned them out of about $140,000.

Solomon Jesus Nasser, 57, is charged with targeting established professional women on dating sites like Match.com and Plentyoffish.com, dating them and then securing money from them under false pretenses.

The indictment alleges that after meeting the women he would tell them he was currently in a dire financial state and that he and his ex-wife were in a battle over child support, or that the court had frozen his assets.

He would convince the women to “loan” him money for living expenses.

One victim gave him cash and purchases on his credit cards totaling over $114,600. A second woman gave him cash and purchased items on her credit card totaling over $24,700.

If convicted, he faces five to 15 years in state prison.
