A source reports that Con Juan used the online dating
service called My-Space and Jdate to meet women looking for love. He
described himself as a muscular romantic gentleman and lured women into
trusting him with personal information. He continued his scam for years before
his illegal actions placed him in a court of law. It is not known how much money
the con man collected over the years before his scam was discovered.
The scammer met a 60-year-old lonely Chelsea woman who finally ended
his scam. He managed to scam the older lady out of $200,000 before he was
arrested for his illegal activity. A different case of his swindling $10,000 from
a woman he met online has been sealed so the legal result of this case is not

account according to police records.
The online scam has come to an end for now with a jail sentence. Manhattan
Supreme Court Justice remarked to New York Criminal Lawyers that the victim
of his scam, the 60-year-old Chelsea woman, probably really loved him making
the crime that much worse. He then sentenced Con Juan to a two and a half
year prison sentence where the online bachelor will not be meeting any available
women to scam.
