When Yolanda Begum first mentioned to me the alleged extortion attempt by her former daughter-in-law Josefina Canalas, AKA "Scarlett O'Hara", I suggested perhaps a simple Cease and Desist letter could be drafted by her son Alex, an attorney. Since Alex chose to deal head on and publicly through social media, with his statement subsequently published by El Rrun Rrun, I will post Alex's statement as well:
by Alex Begum
"I love social media and the great uses it allows. Like everything else, there is a good and a bad, particularly in politics.
Every candidate running for office endures mixed public comments in politics. However, traditional media usually utilizes fact checking, interviews both sides and presents the issues to the viewer. With the advent of social media, none of this occurs. As such, many things that are written are wholly incorrect or just complete fabrications.
Unfortunately, my late half brothers ex wife has creeped up and attempted to extort my mother. This lady who goes by the screen name of scarlet Ohara is really josefina canales. She has also gone by numerous married names including josefina Auten, josefina myhre and josefina begum. She claims to have gone to Harvard on her face book, although she never attended this college and does not have a college degree. This lady has a long and sordid history.
Recently, she attempted to extort my mother by sending her a Facebook message. She said that if my mother did not pay her, she would bad mouth her on the Internet. Of course, my mother refused to pay her one single penny!
We are in the process of reporting her actions to the authorities and looking at additional legal options.
I guess this is the unfortunate part of politics......no wonder why many good folks refuse to run for office. You get these looney people coming out of the woodwork.....
Onward!"
If there are messages, post them to back up the story??
ReplyDeleteRachelle,
DeleteThat, of course, would be the Begum's call. They may want to save any messages and share them with law enforcement.

DeleteLA ROPA SUCIA SE LAVA EN CASA.
DeleteMEANS SCARLET HAS DIRTY LAUNDRY TOO.
Get a life and stop using your handicaped son as your story. This is getting so old.
ReplyDeleteI have known this lady Josie (starlet Ohara) for many years. This is the tip if the iceberg. She has a long aweful history of drugs, abandoning her children, sleeping around, on and on. I am glad someone is exposing her for what she is.
ReplyDeleteLooks like she has had more pipe laid in her then a PREMEX pipe line
DeleteDo you mean like a WHORE??????!!!!!!!!
Deletenot only that, she also has a history of extortion, and the lowest of the low it to use her disable son
ReplyDeleteAlex is scum. He's the reason attorneys get a bad name in America.
ReplyDeleteShe now lives in Austin Texas and is one of the worst kind of people I've ever met. "Jojo Auten" is what she goes by now and also the name "Nina Simon" now on FB covering half of her face with a hat. She is evil, narcissistic, scum and just one of the worst woman ever other than actual murders. She uses her disabled son to get pity from people and then flips the switch extorts money from people and uses people all the time. Her son Jonathan Begum and Daughter Karin Begum are just as bad and horrible enablers too. Stay far away from this whole family is all I have to say!! Save yourself any type of pain and anguish by just avoiding the entire Begum family.
