A notorious “Con” Juan who pursued lovelorn women online only to swindle them out of their savings won’t be meeting any eligible bachelorettes for at least 2½ years.

At sentencing yesterday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Lewis Stone reminded Martin Berres that he “scammed a woman who probably loved” him.

Berres, who billed himself as a muscular, “romantic gentleman” on MySpace and JDate, swindled the 60-year-old Chelsea woman out of $200,000.

The case of an Upper East Sider he scammed of $10,000 has been sealed. Cops said they dated for years before he stole her ID and cash from her bank account.
