"We didn't really talk that much. She was very pleasant to me. Maybe a little overly pleasant," the student said, referring to invitations extended by Kirsch including one to her and Anderton's housewarming party.

The student was unable to attend.

One former friend who did attend the September housewarming said she did not recall seeing Belgravia neighbors at the party.

But one neighbor victim, according to an affidavit of probable cause, did meet both briefly when he moved in. And items of the victim's confidential information was found in Anderton's and Kirsch's $3,000-a-month apartment, police said.

Story continues below.

When cops searched unit 305, they found keys to 45 apartments and all the building's mailboxes in addition to an "industrial . . . card printer, that is used to make corporate identification for employees," according to the affidavit. They also found close to $18,000 in cash.

Kirsch and Anderton purchased items using the name of a neighbor who lived a few doors from them. This victim moved into the Belgravia on Oct. 1, and by Oct. 19, the duo already had opened a mailbox in her name at a UPS store on Spruce Street near 37th, police said.

One woman who allegedly was victimized by the couple, Jennifer Bisicchia, will testify against the globetrotting pair, she said yesterday.

Bisicchia and her employer, Giovanni and Pileggi Salon, have hired a lawyer to get back the money the couple allegedly scammed from both.

"We want to make sure we get what we deserve," Bisicchia said. *
