TRENTON – Acting Attorney General Robert Lougy and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) announced that a woman pleaded guilty today to stealing more than $40,000 from two home improvement customers, including an elderly woman who hired her to repair roof damage caused by Superstorm Sandy.

Dorian Leigh Dammer, 56, whose last known address was in Easton, Pennsylvania pleaded guilty to two counts of theft by deception in the third degree in a hearing before Superior Court Judge Robert B. Reed in Somerset County.

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Dammer agreed to pay a total of $37,500 in restitution to the two homeowners. Additionally, the State will recommend a probationary sentence when Dammer is sentenced. Her sentence is scheduled for August 25, 2016.

In pleading guilty, Dammer admitted that on two occasions she stole money from homeowners by posing as a representative authorized to bid jobs for two improvement companies that in reality she didn’t work for.

Dammer admitted that in October 2013 she stole money from a Bridgewater widow who had hired her to repair roof damage caused by Superstorm Sandy. Dammer admitted she posed as an employee of Vanguard Construction and cashed three checks totaling $28,770 but never had the repairs done.

Dammer also admitted that in December 2015, she posed as an employee of Majestic Exteriors to solicit a job to install windows in a Bridgewater home. Dammer admitted she cashed three checks totaling $15,000 but never had the work done.

Deputy Attorney General Colin Keiffer represented the state at the plea hearing. Detective Kahlil McGrady coordinated the investigation with assistance from Detective Sergeant Jarek Pyzanowski, Detectives Megan Flanagan, Kristi Procaccino, and Analysts Greg Nolan and Terri Drumm. Acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Iu thanked Advanced Technology Investigators, Detective David Sheffrin of the Manville Police Department, and Detective Justin Berger of the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office for their assistance in the investigation.

Acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Iu noted that some important cases have started with anonymous tips. People who are concerned about insurance cheating and have information about a fraud can report it anonymously by calling the toll-free hotline at 1-877-55-FRAUD, or visiting the Web site at www.NJInsurancefraud.org. State regulations permit a reward to be paid to an eligible person who provides information that leads to an arrest, prosecution and conviction for insurance fraud.
