all things jdate related will be up on the blizzy...

August 12, 2005 -- The come-on was irresistible to a widow in her 60s: "I'm looking for an independent, spiritual, honest, mature, attractive woman . . . I am a very simple man. I don't like false or dishonest people."

The smooth-operating father of an administrative court judge then met the Manhattan widow on JDate, the popular matchmaking site for Jewish singles.

And he proceeded to bilk her out of $100,000 in a "cruel" investment scam, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes charged yesterday.

Alan Sarner, bearded and dapper, charmed the widow, a free-lance photographer whose name was withheld. He told her he was "Jonny Micheels," a sensitive artist and investment banker about to make a fortune on a company with a cure for leukemia — the very disease that had killed the woman's husband in 1982.

Would she like to invest?
