A con artist who posed as a licensed contractor to defraud several senior citizens and others over three years was sentenced today to 15 years in prison.
Alexander Nebre stole more than $130,800 from nine victims, including five senior citizens, while posing as a contractor from 2011 to 2014, the prosector’s office said.
He pleaded no contest to several counts of first-degree theft, second-degree theft, and attempted second-degree theft.
Circuit Judge Shirley Kawamura sentenced Nebre and ordered him to pay $131,000 in restitution.
The prosecutor’s office said Nebre took money, sometimes on multiple occasions, for projects that he never performed or failed to complete and continued to prey on his victims while out on bail.
I heard of a Tongan man in his forties, going around Kailua, 96734, area, and asking to repave their driveway. Once the cash is paid, he never showed up again. First he would low ball a price, then every subsequent visit he would ask for more money for supplies.
Now he can repair anything and everything in prison. Pose as anything he like.
