Theodore Leombroni, 47, from Tucson, was arrested this week and charged with fraud after police say he scammed several Arizona women out of more than $1.5 million. One woman from Scottsdale gave him about $1 million of that, police say.
Over the past four years, the scoundrel went around telling wide-eyed women from Phoenix to Tucson that he has a patent pending on a car-safety device, police say.
Leombroni would tell the women that the new contraption would be worth millions if he could only get the capital to start his business.
What better investor than a rich housewife -- or six.

That's right; this Don Juan of deception coaxed at least six women into "investing" in his "company."
This wasn't Leombroni's first brush with barratry. The man already has spent two years in prison after a different fraud conviction, and told police he thinks he may have a gambling problem.
Messing around big-time with the checkbook, and possibly the heart, of a Scottsdale woman? Sure sounds like a risky wager to us.
