Two men hatched a plan to pose as the son of a recently deceased Queens homeowner in order take over possession of the residence and sell it, according to the district attorney
Jorge Vasquez Jr. and Andy Singh were charged in a 10-count indictment, and arraigned on Monday at Queens Supreme Court. The pair face charges including grand larceny, identity theft and other fraud-related charges for their alleged scheme, Queens DA Melinda Katz said.
According to the charges, the owner of the East Elmhurst home died in 2019, and her only biological son inherited the home. About two years later, in Oct. 2021, the son noticed an email from the mother's mortgage company confirming a change in contact information for the house's loan — a change that included an email address unfamiliar to the victim.
When he contacted the company about the change, the mortgage holder told the victim that the mortgage had been paid off earlier that month, the charges stated. He went to visit the home, and saw construction underway at the residence. He soon found that workers had removed personal belongings, like photo albums, from inside and tossed the items into a dumpster out front.
