GROUNDPOUNDER (Bradley Chaney) aka: SCAMMER: DUSTIN ALLEN DRAPER (names he also uses in his scams: Craig Davis, Chris Anderson, Eddie Lopez, Joshua Anderson, Brad Hagen, JJ Price, his wife is Christina Draper, who also goes by the names Christina Lopez Davis, Christina Davis, and his mother is also involved, Bonnie Hagan.) ADDRESS: 2952 Valloey Court, Conyers, GA 30012 Phone numbers he uses: 601-434-5683, 601-329-3533, 601-329-3532, 678-481-0802, and 770-274-8399.
SCAMMER! Yeah as if it's not bad enough I got scammed by Randy Gilkerson I turn around and try to trust someone on fauna again and get suckered for $400 bucks. I know several of you saw his posts for the cheap albinos and pieds. I contacted him wanting a couple female albinos and he gave me a story saying he was going into the military and needed to move the snakes asap. He said he had albinos and pieds left and needed them gone before he left. I asked why he still had them if they were so cheap and he said everyone else thought it was a scam so they weren't interested. (first red flag, good one Laura) Then he tells me he's leaving for Ft. Brag "next Tuesday" and that he'd give me all 8 snakes for $100 a snake to get them gone. He said he no longer a bank account because the military was setting him up with one when he went and that the money had to be sent via moneygram to his wife (Christina Lopez Davis) and I asked why she didn't have a bank account and he said her credit was bad. And I asked why she didn't have his last name and he gave me a sap story about how she kept her old name (rrrriiiiggghhhtt). So I told him I wasn't comfortable sending him blind cash, I wanted an agreement in writing, he said he didn't have a printer or a scanner to send it back. Excuse after excuse. So my dad suggested I could send him half the money upfront and when i received the snakes I would sent him the rest. He agreed. Yes, I was STUPID. But even my dad spoke to this kid and he made his story sound VERY believable. I looked all over online for his name and found nothing, that's because he goes by 9 other names. He is VERY GOOD at what he does. I hope someone can get his butt locked up. He deserves to be in jail for stealing money from people.
Long story short, I never got the snakes. He was supposed to ship them on a Friday. He claimed his wife got to FedEx too late in the evening and they would not ship them that late. Then he said he would ship them on Monday, but then Monday he said he was drivng to Alabama because his aunt died and he had to go to her funeral (yes, really). And then Wednesday he came back and said he couldn't ship them becasue he got bitten by one of his venemous snakes and had to go to the hospital (really, I couldn't make this crap up). It went on and one and then he said his sister was up visiting him she went to the funeral with him and she was from Arcadia (close to where I live) and that she would bring the snakes when she drove home. I asked him to have her call me and he managed to drag that out for a few days. He refused to give me her name or number. And then he finally got pissed and said he would drive the snakes down himself to have this situation over and done with. Would you believe he told me he was in Ft. Myers with the snakes, and then my dad got pissed and called him and he told my dad he was in GA, and then called me back and told me he was in Ft. Myers! WHOA!
Yeah so I lost $400 bucks because once again I tried to trust someone. I know its my own fault but at the same time it would be nice if fauna could someone scan people who get on here---scan their phone numbers and email addresses becasue had I done a search on his phone number, then the BOI would have popped up and I would have known.
I am so livid. He is still texting me telling me he will send my money back. yeah just like Randy just texted me 2 nights ago and wants to trade snakes back....and he doesn't even HAVE my bumble bee. And trust me, I feel like an idiot, and I feel like I never want to do business on fauna again. It's ashame because I have done some business with some really great people on here but you know, people lie, they scam, and they are very very good at what they do. They change their name, change their number, have people write up reviews about them. This guy Dustin even had me call one of the people John he's done business with before and I'm sure John was just some friend he told to give a good review. Unreal.
So here's another to put on the scammer list. Scam me once, shame on you. Scam me twice, shame on me. But it will NOT happen a third time. And I hope neither of these two
scam anyone else. Like I said, I hope somehow he gets locked up. He has stolen money from A LOT of people. He and his "wife" are all over craigslist trying to sell things. It's just not right.
