Immigration agents nabbed multiple “dirtbag” Chinese illegal immigrants caught preying upon vulnerable elderly New Yorkers — including one who is accusing of ripping off a retiree for $42,000.

The feds collared Jian Chen on July 8 after he allegedly “hatched a scheme” to steal the huge sum from a 63-year-old retiree in the village of Potsdam near the St. Lawrence River in northern New York, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He later asked the elderly woman to meet in her town and hand over an additional $98,000.

“It takes a real dirtbag to prey on our most vulnerable community members by attempting to swindle them out of their hard-earned savings,” said Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operations Deputy Field Office Director Joseph Freden.
