Anglia Burnett, 32, allegedly defrauded more than $115,000 with her scam, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Burnett reportedly posed as a loan officer. She approached a man facing a bank foreclosure and promised to help him get bank loans. The man gave her more than $80,000 over several months, but the money was not used to pay off any loans, police told the paper.

She is also accused of bilking a family out of $35,000 and paying back money she had borrowed with checks on an account that had been closed.

If convicted Burnett faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. More charges are possible.
