Heads up - expat scam artist

Wendy Somers departed from Michoacán today after being forced to make restitution to me [OP woman living in in Patzquarro] and Fernando. We were in the process of finalizing a demanda with the ministerio publico when we got wind that she was packing her car to flee. With the assistance of Eronga's police, two of whom speak perfect English, she was given two choices: make restitution or be escorted to Patzcuaro' s ministerio publico. After an hour or so, she finally opted to make payment and the police escorted her to the municipal boundary and was told to never come back to Michoacán. The police were very professional in how they handled the situation, and her intimidating behavior didn't work with them. We were impressed.

This woman uses several aliases and formerly lived in San Miguel de Allende, Ajijic, Lo de Marcos and was making inquiries on various email communication forums, such as Guanajuato and Queretaro, about moving there. Some of you may have met her and/or read her posts on this forum. [an SMA Forum] It is my and Fernando' s belief that she has scammed folks in other parts of Mexico and while we did our best to protect folks here and have her detained, even deported, we managed to only get her out of here. Many people across Mexico have been alerted and given a photo of her, and she will be monitored. The problem is that she often changes her name and email addresses. I thank several friends for helping with the investigation of this bad expat.

The Michoacan Yahoo group has been going crazy with this stuff for the past few days. They seem to agree that she is a horrible person but nobody is willing to say just what she has done. The whole story stinks!
