New York- 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?

After dinner at Café des Artistes and a few more dates in 2003, the widow wrote Sarner checks totaling $100,000. Then he disappeared.

“He truly preyed on my emotions,” the victim said yesterday in a telephone conference.

Prosecutors arrested Sarner on Wednesday after a seven-month investigation, and yesterday indicted him on two counts of grand larceny. He was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

“We are looking into other victims,” Assistant DA Mike Vecchione said.

Hynes said he was also seeking to freeze Sarner’s bank accounts and force him to repay the widow with interest. Sarner’s son, Michael, is an administrative law judge for the NYPD. Reached at his office, the son declined to comment.

Neighbors in Alan Sarner’s Sheepshead Bay apartment building, where he lives with his wife, Elie, described the alleged con artist as a “feeble” old man.

“When you get older in life, you got a lot of lonely old men and a lot of lonely old women,” said a neighbor who identified himself only as Herman. “That’s why something like this could probably happen.”

JDate instructs users to “use common sense” when asked for money. But the widow said Sarner was too charming.

“I love old romantic movies,” he purred in his introductory e-mail, which described him as a widower about to complete a luxury hotel development in the Mediterranean island of Mallorca.

“All the amenities will be there . . . heliport . . . marina . . . gambling casino . . . restaurant, etc.”

“I think it is very important for ideal relationships to have mutual respect and love,” he concluded.

“I believed [he] was a creative and very honest man,” the widow said.

Will she look for love again on JDate? “Never.”
