Missing Children Swindle




[From article]
Senese tricked his first victim, identified only as “V-1” in court papers, into shelling out more than $30,000 — as well as other monthly payments ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 — after the parent’s child was abducted in New York in November 2013 and taken to India, the criminal complaint said.
He promised he could reunite “V-1” with the child in two weeks with the help of an “unidentified retired federal judge, unidentified teams of international lawyers” and several members of the elite Army squad.
But instead, Senese allegedly led the victim on a wild goose chase for nine months, texting them fake updates on his rescue efforts while pretending to be in India.
