Cantonment Woman Charged With Exploitation Of Her Former In-Laws, Grand Theft
December 8, 2022
A Cantonment woman is charged with stealing from her former in-laws by opening and using fraudulent credit accounts.
Samantha A. Perea, 35, was charged with grand theft, exploitation of the elderly, criminal use of personal identification information, and uttering a forged instrument. All of the charges are felonies.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Perea opened multiple credit lines using the personal information and names of her ex-husband’s parents at Pen Air Federal Credit Union, Chase, Citi, Capital One and Mariner Finance. Total charges to the credit accounts ranged from $30,000 to $80,000, according to an arrest report.
Perea allegedly took two $3,500 checks from a finance company and deposited them into own bank account. She also had the victim’s military retirement check, Social Security and Veterans Administration checks sent directly to her account, the arrest report states.
The victims are ages 71 and 75, according to the sheriff’s office.
The arrest report states before the couple’s separation, Perea had “been ‘in charge’ of the finances and accounts for the family.
Perea was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $32,500 bond.

Wow. I hope karma catches up to her really, really soon. That’s as low as you can go. They trusted her with everything. Unbelievable. Evil reincarnate. I’m sorry. I cannot stop. How can you take advantage of someone so kind, loving, trusting, innocent? She needs to be held accountable; pay for the abuse and other crimes against this man and family over time . Please if anyone has any complaints to file or corroborating evidence, please come forward as soon as possible. I am here to stand with you. Thank you.
Long prison sentence in the near future
Maxim 1: Never trust your money to anyone other than youself. Maxim 2: Nevet trust anyone period. White collar criminals never make restitution and incarceration time is short. A lot of people are on the Grift, even your best friends will take advantage of your generosity.
Shame on you!!! You don’t look one bit remorseful for what you have done to these people.
Geez! How can anyone hurt their former in-laws that way? Plain abuse of the elderly!
