Dorchester Woman Accused of Posing as Hells Angels Member to Scam Man Out of $34,000
A Dorchester woman is facing charges after allegedly posing as a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club to scam a Rhode Island man out of $34,000.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, Tiana Serrano, 31, was charged with larceny by false pretenses after a 30-year-old man contacted a number listed on an escort website in August.
The man never received a response or met with anyone. However, days later, he began receiving threatening text messages from someone claiming to be a Hells Angels member named “Jeff Wolf.” The messages referenced his family members and Social Security information and demanded money for a supposed debt.
Fearing for his family’s safety, the man made more than a dozen payments totaling $34,000 over 12 days in September. Investigators traced the payments to bank accounts in Serrano’s name.
Serrano was arraigned in Dorchester Municipal Court on Friday, November 6th, and was ordered held on $1,000 bail. She is scheduled to return to court on January 22nd.
