Richard F. Russo, 60, of 6864 Yellowstone Blvd. was charged with grand larceny and possession of a forged instrument in connection with the case, the police said.
Detectives said the woman, 42, placed a personals ad in a newspaper in 2005, and Russo contacted her and, several months after they began a relationship, Russo persuaded the woman to give him the $10,000 to invest. As collateral, Russo gave her a personal check for the same amount and then repeatedly talked her out of cashing the check when he failed to pay her any return on her investment, the police said.

The woman became suspicious and contacted the police, who said they investigated and learned that the check was fraudulent and the account did not exist.
