Scam Artist on the loose in ABQ

I Think i've heard of this lady. She bounced a number of checks in the Scottsdale Arizona area, to contractors, a storage company and others. I saw she was being sued by a man in Phoneix for rent and eviction.

Thank you for the Information

If the citizens work together and give updated reports on who is scamming and where their most recent trail is, the citizens could put together their own journal of who, where, how the scam is being played. I would think all it would take is everyone who knows of a scam reports it and the people who hear about it could simply put the information in a spiral notebook and keep it as reference for any plays that might be knocking on their door...

VERY TRUE! I think in this day and age we all need to lookout for one another, and be ready to nip these types of schemes in the butt. If we ban together to expose them then i'm sure they will just move on to antoher place, but the prime objective must be to expose them.

ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN SCAMMED SHOULD BE ABLE TO OUT THOSE WHO HAVE DONE THEM WRONG!

New Info,BRENDA DUGGAN is allegedly involved in a company in Phoenix Airzona known as CLUB R, INC, and she has a secondary company registered there known as Relxations, LLC.

She has a few civil suits filed against her dating back to the 1980's, under the name Brenda Santillanes and a divorce from 1998 under Brenda Kathleen Presti.

Word is out that she is searching New Mexico and Arizona for "investors" to swindel out of money for her "companies". Yet after looking into the address she is listed at in Scottsdale, the owner of said property claims she is not a tenant at his address.

MORE SCAMS- BEWARE

Read something about her in Business Weekly out of Albuquerque. You say she's now in the Arizona area?

Thanks for the head up

She is making an attempt to open up a business in the Scottsdale Promenade, she has a building that has signs on it that say "RELAXATIONS" but the builidng, or the suite seems to be boarded up.

I did find that she is in a custody battle in Albuquerque though and it claims that she lives here in the Duke City. If you go to nmcourts.gov you will find all kinds of information about her.

I hear she is having meetings in Albquerque with business men trying to get them to "invest" in her business in Arizona.

She has scammed before, if anyone has been contacted by Brenda Duggan or Brenda Santillanes BEWARE she's out for your hard-earned money!

The worst ones are called: Mayor for Life Martin "Sideshow" Chavez; Chief of Albuquerque P.D. Ray "We Do No Wrong" Schultz; APD Busywork Specialist Joe Bowdich; Nick "Asleep at the Wheel" Bakas; Pete
"Ministry of Propaganda" Dinelli.

Don't know if this off topic, but I am getting phone calls from some group claiming they can lower my interest rate on my credit cards to less than 10%. It is a scam according to the att. general, as all they are trying to do is get your credit card numbers and info and after you hang up, will start charging to your credit cards. Just hang up on them, as the numbers they call from are rerouted numbers and they cannot be located for that reason or so I was told.

You should call the Attorney Generals Office and warn them about this. This is a scam that has been going on all over the country

Only one? I doubt that.

I did call the att. general. They are the ones who told me about the rerouted numbers. I just am not sure if that office gets the information out to the public. I did not know about it until I had gotten the scammers phone call. Lucky for me, I did not take the bait.

Did they call on a land line or cell if it was a cell phone, who is your provider? I sure hope they call me, I track down scammers for fun.

You seem to have good info on her. I am curious to know who from california is so interested in a 2 year ild case.

Problem is it's not a 2 year old case, wich I think it is what you were referring to. I was one of the people she scammed, she asked me and some business associates to "invest" in her business, that was 2 years ago, we did and to date her company still has not been opened. There is no record of it, there is no business in Scottsdale as she promised.

And she sold "gift cards" and member packages to many of my friends in Arizona as well as here in California. So my interest is deeply rooted and my anger leads me to warn as many people as I can warn so they are not taken to the cleaners by this SCAM ARTIST!

I hope that answers your question

ATTN: all individuals that have been "scammed"...send me 500 dollars in small unmarked bills....and I will locate said scammer and recover your money..thank you.

THey called on my land line.

Besides the latest court action she has is in the Phoenix court where her landlord sued her and evicted her for non-payment of her rent, and now it appears as though the New Mexico courts are hearing a custody matter on her. I will forward my information to her attorney.

Again this is in regards to BRENDA DUGGAN.

Anyone in here know of a woman in Albuquerque named Brenda Duggan? She is a scam artist and should be in prison, but has yet been caught.

She also has various alias's, BRENDA SANTILLANES, BRENDA PRESTI

If you know of her or about her I ask you to visit the blog-spot about her, read about her and add your own horror storries.

its: http://brenda-duggan.blogspot.com/

She is not exclusive to New Mexico either, she has hit victims in Arizona, Hawaii, Texas, Oklahoma and who knows where else.

Brenda used to own a company in Albuquerque named RELAXATIONS on Montgomery

And what happened to post #1 on this scam. It was obviously (?) removed. Maybe the scammer works at KOB and took it off. The "Scam Artist on the Loose in ABQ" had no info shown or follow-up post (Post #1?). Was it the Round House they were talking about?

Hmmm, Beware and Indeed should get together. You all live in Santa Barbara. Unless that is a scam.
