San Fernando Valley Men Facing 40 Counts for Scamming

Two unlicensed contractors from the San Fernando Valley were charged today with scamming elderly victims throughout Los Angeles, including Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Northridge and Sherman Oaks, officials said.

Eldad Syton, 33, of Valley Village, and Yair Zilberman, 30, of Encino are facing more than 40 counts, including theft from elders and first-degree burglary.

Between 2012 and 2014, Syton would enter into contracts for pest extermination at the homes of elderly clients for a set fee but would then claim they had mold, termites or other problems, said Deputy District Attorney Michelle Dodd of the Elder Abuse Division in a statement.

Syton then would propose a new contract for large amounts of money for work never performed, she said.
