HOUSTON – Prosecutors with The Harris County District Attorney’s Office said Larry Aguero was preying on the unemployed. Hayes said Aguero claimed to work for the City of Houston, promising his victims jobs that do not exist. AdThe alarm was sounded after several of the victims confronted Aguero at Aguero’s southwest Houston apartment. Gradually that complainant learned this job doesn’t exist, we don’t know what you’re talking about,” Hayes said. Prosecutors said if you’re ever approached by someone about jobs with the city or county, look for an official I.D.

They received a phone call back in February from a woman claiming to be their 26-year-old granddaughter, who is in the United States Army stationed in North Carolina. The woman told the Sapps’ she’d been in a wreck, hit a pregnant woman after she’d been drinking and needed $3,000 bail money. The Sapps’ say the man pretending to be the attorney told them he would refund the $3,000 in bail money. Investigators say the phone number that the Sapps’ were given is registered to a 20-year-old young man. The Sapps’ said they wanted to share their story so that what happened to them doesn’t happen to anyone else.
