Lawsuit: Scamming Romeo Conned Texas Woman Into Borrowing Against Home Credit Line To Finance His Personal Lifetstyle

In Jefferson County, Texas, The Southeast Texas Record reports:
  • A Jefferson County woman has filed suit against the man she claims is making a living by romancing women and then borrowing money from them. Beverly Hickman claims she lent defendant Robert Horowitz tens of thousands of dollars in 2009 after he wooed her and claimed to need money for himself and for his business, defendant Senior's Choice.

  • "He (Horowitz) has developed, and utilizes, a business practice for himself and for his business, Senior's Choice, in which he romances middle-aged, single women and borrows money from them to float his business, maintain his cash flow, and maintain his personal lifestyle," the suit filed Feb. 18 in Jefferson County District Court states.

  • "In order to loan this money to Mr. Horowitz, Mrs. Hickman drew on a home mortgage line of credit, making herself vulnerable to foreclosure on her home and loss of her residence in the event of Mr. Horowitz's default," the suit states. Horowitz failed to repay Hickman after he developed a new romantic interest, she claims.
