Jody Pendleton, 33, is wanted by Greensboro police on charges of obtaining property by false pretense.

Officers say Pendleton goes by the alias "Steven Blankenship" and tells victims he owns multiple contracting companies under the name Stradyx. He then convinces them to form a partnership with him to purchase and renovate property. He takes the victims' money and disappears, police say. Since June, detectives say he defrauded at least two victims of a total of $45,500. Police believe he may have changed to another alias to continue to commit fraudulent acts.

Pendleton is a white man, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 175 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. His last known address is 2224-G Spring Garden St.
