Overview

• Juan Valoy, 46, was charged in Manhattan Supreme Court with third-degree grand larceny and first-degree scheme to defraud tied to an alleged apartment scam targeting prospective renters.
• He pleaded not guilty, and his attorney characterized the charges as allegations.
• Prosecutors say the scheme ran from March to July 2025, with Valoy posing as a broker via Facebook Marketplace and referrals to arrange tours in Washington Heights, Queens, and the Bronx.
• Victims allegedly paid more than $7,000 each in cashier’s checks to Milian Services Corp. and provided sensitive documents such as pay stubs and Social Security numbers.
• The DA’s Housing & Tenant Protection and Immigrant Affairs units are prosecuting the case, and officials believe additional victims may exist and can call 212-335-3600 regardless of immigration status.
