AN aspiring Brisbane model has been arrested in New York for allegedly swindling a bank out of $A275,000 so he could pay for braces for his teeth.
Azeem Ali-Shabazz, 19, who on his Facebook page claimed he worked for the top global agency Ford Models, has been charged with grand larceny and is being held on $US20,000 ($A19,000) bail in the Manhattan Detention Complex.
US authorities allege he received a $US286,648 business loan from Sovereign Bank by falsely claiming he was the owner of CW Capital Asset Management, but in a jailhouse interview with the New York Daily News, Ali-Shabazz said he was also a victim.
Ali-Shabazz, who was living in Queens and wanted money to get braces for his teeth, said he was promised $US1500 by three men if he participated in the bogus loan application.
"I wanted to get braces," he told the Daily-News.
"I've got a nice smile, but I wanted a million-dollar smile."
Ali-Shabazz was arrested last Thursday when he went to a Sovereign Bank branch in Manhattan to ask why his account was frozen.
The teenager said he did not receive a cent of the $US286,648, and only knew the three men who duped him as Darryl, Orlando and Jason.
