Despite Resembling Troll, Dating Site Grifter Got Women to Send Him Big Bucks

Nasser
Ladies, pay no attention to this unflattering mugshot. (The lighting makes his neck look fat!) 57-year-old Solomon Nasser is quite the catch: He is a multi-millionaire with a private jet, he graduated with a PhD from MIT at age 22, he was a former CIA agent and advisor to President Bush, as well as a Navy admiral and an inventor with 80 patents. And look at that lush head of hair! Some lucky young lady's going to snatch him up any second unless you act now and help him out of his messy divorce. He just needs $125,000 or so. Any takers?

He has already received over $100K from two women he met on dating websites Match.com and Plentyoffish.com. Nasser—who in real life is not a millionaire genius inventor CIA spook, but just some guy who lives with his wife in Hastings-on-Hudson and drives a crappy Nissan—allegedly told the women he was divorcing his wife and his assets were frozen, so he needed loans. "He was totally convincing," one virtual paramour tells CBS2. "I want him stopped. Now I've learned you can't loan money to people. You really can't trust anyone." So cynical—next she'll tell us the Tooth Fairy's fake.

One woman gave him $115,000, and a second woman gave him $25,000. But he never did leave his wife and whisk them away on his private jet. And now he's charged with grand larceny and fraud, and faces up to 15 years in prison. And who knows how many other broken, disillusioned hearts lay in his wake?

    What woman wouldn't want to help free that face from its Jell-O mold?

  • Thinky Think

    I've always wished I had a penis. Women love to support men as they are so desperate to be in love. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

    If he worked for bush he would have a cut of the poppy money.

    sounds like a truer to me than what you wrote. i guess its a matter of perspective

  • amsci

    Son, I am disappoint.

  • robingee

    So the man is rich but needs money for his divorce, after which he will whisk me away on a jet, even though I clearly have $100K to spare to give to a stranger?

    I am staggered at the levels of stupidity, naivety, and delusion of my fellow humans. But then again my dad would gladly jump into any pyramid scheme that crosses his path.

  • manuelmontalvo

    definitely too many natives.

  • justthinkin

    If he had claimed he needed the money for a neck-ectomy, I would have understood how he duped these women.

  • Sketto

    If all it takes is a guy like this to talk you out of that much of your own money, then it surely wasn't going to remain yours for long anyway.

  • Steven

    Too many dumb and native people.

  • Malcolm Tucker

    Anybody know what handle he used to post his thoughts on Gothamist?

  • Polite New Yorker

    I'm helping out this wealthy widow from Nigeria transfer money to the U.S. using my bank account. Once everything is cleared, I'll have 4.8% of $25 million.

  • Rocknrope

    These women really must be the short-bus riders. Would you give 100K to a paramour you've never met in person?



    But hey, it happens all the time to dudes, so I guess it's possible. Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous combination.

  • ForrestWhitaker

    "Hi, I'm gonna give this anonymous person on the internet, $115k, and expect everything to be A-OK!"



    .....Morons.

  • Amanda Harletsch

    If these rich women splurge on such a package, perhaps is because he has so much skin he can make for a perfect accessory.

  • eat vegans

  • Wza
