PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland police are looking for a 73-year-old man who they said has been conning people around the country since 1962.
They’re asking for the public’s help finding Nickolas Kasemehas.
Kasemehas, who goes by the name Nick, was released from prison in September 2012 and immediately started conning people in the Salem area. He’s also been seen in the Portland area.
“Many of his cons involve schemes around gold, jewelry and loans,” police said in a news release.
Kasemehas’ criminal history includes cons in San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and many other small cites, police said.
The KATU Investigators focused on Kasemehas in 2008 when he was known as the "Casanova con man." He'd been scamming people in the Seattle area before he arrived in Portland. He was convicted of aggravated theft and sentenced to three years in prison.
