An Alexandria man has pleaded guilty to perpetrating four fraud schemes that bilked their victims out of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past six years.
David L. Parker, 50, pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria to charges of access device fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and fraud in connection with computers, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said he admitted to four separate scams conducted since 2006.
In one scheme, prosecutors say he obtained credit cards using the names of his grandparents and his teenage daughter's Social Security number and used them to make more than $70,000 unauthorized purchases.
In another scam, he told lies to convince two people to invest in a cafe; the victims lost more than $120,000 in the investment.
In the third scam, Parker convinced an ex-girlfriend to give him more than $90,000 to help him get out of a contract with the French government, even though he didn't work for them.
The final fraud involved making misrepresentations about his experience in intelligence and national security to get access to National Security Agency databases, which he then used to further a government consulting contract for his own financial gain.
