An office administrator reported to police that on Sunday, January 17, she was at the People's Stadium when she received a text message from a cell phone number. The person identified herself as her boss, and asked him to pay for some sea food her boss had allegedly ordered. Believing that this person was indeed her boss, this employee texted the conman and told him to show up at the Stadium where she was. Shortly after that, a dark-skinned man showed up, and collected $330 from her, by pretending to be the man that her boss had supposedly sent to pick up the money. When she verified with her actual boss, she realized that the text message conman had deceived her.

3 days later, a cashier from an electronics store in Orange Walk reported to police that a dark skinned man showed up to the business and convinced her that her boss sent him to collect money for sea food that the employer allegedly bought. She paid him $300, and he promised to return with the sea food, but he never did. She realized later that she too had been deceived.

Police investigated both reports, and they have since charged Windell Neal with 2 counts of obtaining property by deception. He will be arraigned in the Orange Walk Magistrates Court at the earliest convenience.

To add to that, it appears that Neal may have pulled the same stunt in San Pedro in between his two alleged cons in Orange Walk.

Dorothea Pineda, a businesswoman on San Pedro reported to police that on January 19, she was at her establishment when she asked her employee about the expected arrival time of some shrimps. She had seen a note pad item that $280 had been paid for these shrimps and that there was another $100 balance, which is supposed to be paid to this delivery person.

That's when Pineda's employee told her that she paid a dark skinned young man, who gave his name as Brian Neal, $280 because the young man convinced her that Pineda, her boss, had ordered it. Apparently the young pretended to call Pineda on the phone and staged any entire fake conversation just for the employee's benefit. The young man pretended to get instructions from Pineda to pass on that this employee must pay him $280 upfront. Pineda confirmed that she never did speak to anyone, much less give any instructions for money to be paid out.

San Pedro Police investigated the report, and they managed to get a hold of a photograph of Windell Neal - who may also be going by the name Brian Neal - while he was in detention at the Orange Walk Police station for the very same crime of obtaining property by deception. Pineda's employee identified Neal as the man who she gave the money to. So, right now, Windell Neal, who may have used the name Brian, is facing 2 counts of obtaining property by deception, and he's wanted in San Pedro for this other report as well, which could mean that he might be facing 3 counts of obtaining property by deception.
