Kimra McPerson writes in The Mercury News:
A woman has been arrested in Redwood City in connection with several Internet scams and cases of credit card fraud -- and police believe she could have more victims.More here.
Claudia Lindhorst, 23, was arraigned this week in San Mateo County court and pleaded not guilty to numerous charges of identity theft, grand theft, burglary and forgery, Deputy District Attorney Peter Lynch said. She is being held in the San Mateo County Jail.
Police describe Lindhorst -- who allegedly used the aliases Leni Campbell and Claudia Becker -- as a cunning con artist skilled at wooing her victims. Two of the people allegedly scammed in the Bay Area had rented rooms in their houses to her, Redwood City Detective Jackie Gouldson said. Others trusted her based on craigslist ads and brief conversations.
