ALBANY – A local con artist added yet another conviction to her ever-growing rap sheet Wednesday.

Bobbi A. Constantine, a 48-year-old grifter, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to wire fraud before Judge Mae D'Agostino.

"Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty and for no other reason?" the judge asked.

"Yes," Constantine said. A sign language interpreter relayed the words of Constantine, who has partial hearing loss, to the judge.

It is the latest of more than 20 convictions for Constantine, who pleaded guilty in March to lying about her criminal record to land a job at a post office in Troy. Constantine was formerly known by the name Robert Bove.

In 2008, Constantine was stopped by U.S. immigration agents crossing into Canada at Grand Portage, Minn. Constantine, who faced a sentencing in Albany, claimed he had a "board meeting" in New York and that traveling through Canada would be the fastest way to Albany. Constantine then missed the sentencing, claiming to have needed 11th-hour coronary bypass procedure at a Chicago area hospital. Medical papers were faxed to Albany from a nearby Sheraton hotel.

In the most recent case, the defendant swindled mortgage lenders and car lease companies into believing she collected $4,400 monthly as the sole beneficiary of a $12 million trust.

But the so-called "Constantine Family Trust Fund" trust did not exist, nor did the defendant's would-be aunt, "Mary Ann Constantine" of Florida, according to the plea deal.

It was all a scam that federal prosecutors in Albany said cost the victims upward of $250,000.

In November 2014, Constantine used the bogus trust claims to con Community First National Bank into approving a $200,873 loan to buy a home on Shaker Road in Albany. An attorney backed up the claim that Constantine was the supposed sole beneficiary.

In December 2014, Constantine supplied the false information to the Toyota Motor Credit Corp. to get a two-year lease for a 2015 Rav-4 sports utility vehicle worth $25,150.

In May 2016, Constantine conned Chrysler Capital into approving a three-year lease for a new 2016 Jeep Renegade worth $27,000. The defendant claimed to have earned an income of $56,000-a-year at a job she had for nine years. Neither was true, prosecutors said.

That same month, Constantine used the false trust information to scam Quicken Loans out of a $131,000 loan for a home in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Constantine will be sentenced Dec. 22.
