Description

Peggy Neely and her husband Joseph Cabrejos pretended to represent am actor in Scotland, saying he needs a kidney transplant. They convinced my mother this is real and asked her to send money to Neely Public Strategies as a loan, and that the money would be repaid at a later time, saying this money would then be sent to the actor in Scotland. They have repeatedly asked for more money, and have gotten $26,000 and were attempting to get even more. When other family members became aware of this, they called Peggy Neely telling her to stop and the next day her husband Joseph Cabrejos to make a harassing phone call to the family member trying to get them to stop. They then messaged my mother asking why her family was calling them and telling her to make them stop. This is absolutely a scam.
