  A Solvay woman who admitted defrauding an Iowa family out of more than $114,000 was sentenced Friday to 27 months in federal prison, federal prosecutors said.
  Lynn Marie Moore, 44, of 217 Case St., was sentenced in Sioux City, Iowa, but was released on bond prior to surrendering to federal prison officials at a date to be set, Assistant U.S. Attorney Janet L. Petersen, prosecutor on the case, said.
  In addition to jail time, Moore was ordered to pay $114,354 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release after her jail sentence is complete, Petersen said.
  Kimberly Teslow, of Decorah, Iowa, gave Moore her life savings, totaling more than $63,000, after Moore falsely promised her a job and made other false statements about Moore's health and prospects for inherited wealth, Petersen said. Moore met Teslow when Teslow resided in the Syracuse area, Petersen said. Teslow's family also sent Moore money, Petersen said.
  Moore admitted she used the money for her living and gambling expenses, Petersen said. Moore was charged by deputies locally in March with grand larceny. She is accused of scamming a Clay resident out of $19,000, deputies said at the time. Comments
