Con Woman Kathleen Legaspi (aliases Sophia Barbarella, Sophia Dash, Sohpia Vale) Still Ripping Off Victims in 2013/2014

Here are our findings in 2013 / Jan. 2014:
Have a good look through and see what you think.  Note the new businesses and how she registered them as owned by another business so it obscures her name from showing up.  As of 2013, she is back ripping people off again.
I also spoke to San Diego probation and there are no open cases under her name, so it is likely that she's off probation. The only way to get her nailed again is to find victims that will press charges.

Chef, go ahead and set up your website and use it as a name and shame so that victims can have recourse for filing charges.  She will never stop if she hasn't stopped already.

Let me know if you come up with more.
Cheers

She appears to have a daughter, but she has previously told people she was pregnant to gain sympathy in asking for money (which would never be paid back).  It is unknown if this is her biological daughter, adopted, or the child of a friend where she just posed for pictures to make it appear she has a daughter).

  9. I recently read about Kathleen Legaspi (aka Kat Kafashian) being arrested for scamming money out of people on numerous occasions and thought I would share my story - it it helps even one person than this effort will have been worth it.

    I used to live in San Diego, CA in 2000 and befriended Kathleen. I completely trusted Kathleen and felt that we had a very good friendship. I ignored the fact that her life always seemed to be in crisis, that everyone was mistreating her, and that her life seemed so unfair. Rather, I tried to be a good friend. Her behavior became increasingly unstable; in fact, I remember her once calling me at 6:00 a.m. totally depressed and talking about killing herself. Her stories became more and more "unbelievable."

    Even though I didn't really want to do it, I co-signed for Kathleen so that she could get a cell phone. The plan she selected was only $50/month, so I thought I would be o.k. even if she had some financial difficulties. Within a matter of days, Kathleen ran up approximately $2,000 in phone calls - she was maliciously using the phone with no regards for my financial situation (I was a broke student at the time). It goes without saying that Kathleen did not make any payments.

    After alot of hard work, I was able to find Kathleen's parents and we tracked her down at a hotel with some guy. We brought Kathleen to her parents' house in San Diego to confront her and arrange payment for my bill. She signed a contract with me agreeing to repay the money. She then locked herself in her parents' bathroom, called one of her friends, then took off running out the front door and sped off in her friend's car once the friend arrived. I never did recover any of the money that she owed me. Her parents were very kind, though. They worked some overtime and paid me a little bit of money towards the balance, but they couldn't afford to pay the entire bill. They even encouraged me to file suit against their daughter because they felt it was the right thing to do.

    Kathleen Legaspi has no conscience and is a completely malicious person who does not care one ounce about other people. She wouldn't think twice about stealing every dime from someone. She is not the kind of person that could ever be a friend to anyone. If you meet this person, stay far away! And, whatever you do, never do her any financial favors. She will work very hard to make sure that you trust her and find her to be a good friend - then, without hesitation, she will turn on you and cause you alot of harm!

    1. Hi Robert,
      We are very sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with her. It is astonishing that she has been doing this for so long. When she was taken to court in 2015, there were some people who left a comment on this blog saying she was shifty way back in 1997. So even you were not the first of her victims. We have reposted your comment as a blog post to give it more visibility. It is important that others know your story in hopes that if they see it in time, they will know what awaits them if they continue with her (she's batting 1000 when it comes to screwing people). All of this begs the question: Is she knowingly and purposely screwing people or is there something in her brain that makes her think she's "the good guy" and is trying to do the right thing but it always goes bad due to bad luck?" No matter how you look at it, this is a VERY frightening person on all fronts. Very sad and tragic.
