This isn’t your run-of-the-mill stolen valor case.

It’s much, much worse.

Peter Senese, 49, from Brooklyn, New York allegedly lied to distraught parents through websites and duped them into believing he could rescue their abducted children, all through the ruse that he was a former Delta Force member — according to officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI Tuesday.

With the power of these two crudely-constructed websites here and here, Senese allegedly tricked his victims into thinking he had “military and legal resources” that would enable him to get their children back no matter where the location.

And stole a small fortune — i.e. tens of thousands of dollars — from them in the process.

More from the New York Post:

Senese tricked his first victim, identified only as “V-1” in court papers, into shelling out more than $30,000 — as well as other monthly payments ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 — after the parent’s child was abducted in New York in November 2013 and taken to India, the criminal complaint said.

 

He promised he could reunite “V-1” with the child in two weeks with the help of an “unidentified retired federal judge, unidentified teams of international lawyers” and several members of the elite Army squad.

 

But instead, Senese allegedly led the victim on a wild goose chase for nine months, texting them fake updates on his rescue efforts while pretending to be in India.

 

“We are a go go go go go. They are to pick [the child] up in 11 hours. I am so extremely excited. I’m quarterbacking everything right now at my end. 17 hours into Dubai, 30 hours into New York,” Senese texted on April 26, 2014.

 

Investigators later found Senese was in New York, Miami and Ontario, Calif., when he claimed to be in India — and had not traveled outside the US since 2007.

On Tuesday he appeared in Manhattan federal court where he faced wire-fraud charges. He was released on $100,000 bond after his parents put up their Brooklyn home as security.
