    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

See the BOI on Chris Anderson. Eddie Lopez and Chris Anderson are both in Stockbridge, GA. Both are selling animals they apparently don't have. Eddie is the one I dealt with and he claims to be moving. He was sent a postal money order and talked to me every day until the day he was supposed to ship. We agree he would ship last Wednesday do to weather conditions. I've not heard from him since.

Can you give a lot more details on this matter? What is the connection between Chris Anderson and Eddie Lopez? Are you suggesting they are the same person? What proof of this do you have other than the coincidence of them living in the same area and not following through with a sale?

(I'm not suggesting you're wrong...just asking for more clarification and evidence...I have NO idea one way or the other.)

Also, you need to provide specific details on your deal with Eddie Lopez...how much did you send him? What were you buying? How did you come to contact him about what was for sale? Can you provide copies of the correspondence between you?
 
The thread is gone, or at least I can't find it any more, but here is one of emails that anyone receives when someone else responds to the same thread (that I didn't delete). I believe Chris may have been the orginator of that thread/sale. "Reply to thread 'For Sale Assorted Pythons and condas'Sat, December 4, 2010 9:58:03 PM

To:" Oddly, the remainder of the email is suddenly gone. The rest of the correspondence was done by phone or text. I have copy of the postal money order. I related the two because I believe Chris was the orginator of the email and Eddie said he and his partner owned these boas and pythons. He said he was moving West and it was to cold to take them. He even asked if he could throw a ball python in with the two anaconda's. I was purchasing a pair, apparently six foot each, for $200. Just before the money order was sent for $260 (60 for shipping) he said he just received a third anaconda, about 8 feet and he was sending it too. After receiving the money order, he said he could not cash it because his liscense did not match it exactly. He gave his friends address and not the address on his liscense. He said I'm sending it back but I really need to ship them now. I told him I would have to wait for the money order to get returned before I would attempt any other type of payment. About two days later, he said if I could just sent the money for shipping, I could send the rest after I got the postal money order back. I agreed (yes, like an idiot) and sent him $145. I even picked western union, he didn't. He and I talked at least a dozen times and texted back and forth over 3 dozen times. He changed his number but even called me with the new one (I have both). I can give you the one, it still has his voicemail. When I read the BOI and heard something was going on that sounded fishy, I called him, and asked about it. I told him to man up and just let me know. "Have you scammed me or are you sending them?" This was on a Friday. "I said if you scammed me just fess up so I don't waste my weekend building a new cage." And he said, I don't need your money, I obtain my money honestly and the snakes will be sent on Monday like you requested (do to weather)." On Monday I called and said wait a day because it's still bad, I then called him Tuesday and told him to ship on Wednesday, all is clear. He said he would get it done. On Wednesday, he quit answering or texting me back.

The scammer thief is likely Dustin Draper. Chris Anderson, JJ Price, etc are just two of the many aliases he uses. Also, it looks like his accomplice, "Christina Davis" has now morphed into Eddie Lopez.

Here are the other threads regarding Dustin Draper & sidekick (whether the sidekick be real or imaginary)

Good guy post actually made by "Christina Davis" claiming she met Draper & had a good transaction. Note she claimed FL as her residence on her sidebar ID.

Please post all phone numbers and addresses you were given or used. Interested parties would like to know. Thanks.
 
I'm still waiting to see the connection between Chris Anderson and Christina Davis - they were mentioned together in the last thread, but no connection was ever shown (as of the last I looked), and the OP of that thread never provided anything in response to my PM.

Keith - would you please give the username for the person that posted the ad you responded to? I'm pretty familiar with Dustin's antics here, but you've really given NOTHING to go by...why/how are you connecting the names Chris Anderson and Eddie Lopez
 
(nevermind - the photobucket account showing the same pictures connected Chris Anderson to Dustin Draper)
Still interested in how Eddie Lopez gets tied in, though
 
The addresses listed in the other thread ARE addresses associated with Dustin Draper.
As already requested, please post any phone numbers you've been given, and the username that placed the ad here - I looked through your posts, and so no communication with anybody named Eddie. You DID reply to one of "Chris Anderson's" ads...but so far you haven't shown anything that ties the name Eddie Lopez into that mess.
 
I found one the pm he sent me that links them. Eddie has to be the correct name or he could not have cashed the postal money order but he is directly tied to Chris. Here is the pm I recieved from Chris. The Greens are the anaconda's.

The greens are sold to you. The rest of the stuff is sold to other buyers.
 
Sorry about the above typo. I still have the one pm message from him. Looking for more. Here are the two phone numbers for him. The first is still active, I just called it. 678 481 0802. The original was 770 274 8399
 
I've pressed charges with the Henry County police department on Eddie. I would suggest those that have been scammed do the same. Since Chris is in Stockbridge too, he would also be in Henry County. The number for the police department is 770 288 8200. I called several other offices in Henry County and they all said the same, I need a police report before doing anything else.
 
Please mention Dustin Allan Draper, AKA Chris Anderson, Joshua Anderson, JJ Price, etc to Henry County as well. It ain't just "Eddie Lopez" perpetrating these on-going scams!
 
So you have nothing anyplace that puts an Eddie Lopez in this? Where did you get the name...was it given during a phone call?

Thanks for the numbers, I'll check my file & add them if they are different - I'll let you know if they are numbers already associated, but I won't be able to access my other computer until morning.
 
Harald, I mentioned in one of the priors, I have a pm from Chris Anderson, this pm was to confirm the purchase of the anaconda's. I originally responded to Chris, and through different phone numbers, I ended up talking with Eddie, who was supposed to have the anaconda's.
 
UPDATE -, Eddie has called me today....... He heard or read that I called the police. He says he's not scamming me, he happened to lose his phone and just found it. With that said, he said he will ship today and make this right. More to come. (If he makes it right, either sending the snakes or returning the money, I will contact any person who has contacted me and make sure they know and I'll put a positive BOI on him with an apology. All info provided is 100% acurate. The BOI started because he said he sent the money back, and I have not received it, then he was going to ship last Wednesday and ironically, the last time I heard from him was last Tuesday (9 days ago). I've also talked with two others - will not mention their names, that said they dealt with Eddie and where taken. I'm now just awaiting the end result which may be positive afterall since he called.
 
It's better to keep all the stuff about one transaction in one thread.

I also wouldn't jump the gun on a Good Guy post ... remember, a person is only as good as the company he (or she) keeps. This Eddie Lopez is associating with a known scammer & thief & using the same address as the known scammer & thief.

Even a thief has to make good once or twice to keep off the heat so they can keep on thieving!
 
Hi guys, I'm not on this site to discuss reptiles as such, however I did notice your discussion on "Dustin Draper" "chris anderson" "Josh Anderson" " christina Davis" JJ Price" "eddie lopez"
this guy has ripped me off 1000 dollars which he tried to sell KKK collectables to me, showed me pics etc (which were of someone else's collection, once money was wired and collected, used every excuse under the sun. I have spoken to the Henry county police and filed reports with the trade commision, I also see there is a running case with the fbi? Dustin isn't only selling reptiles he doesn't have he is also trying to sell ku klux klan items on ioffer and storm front and is ripping a lot of people off. Any feedback or info from you guys will be well apprieciated as I would like to get everyone to report this guy if you've been ripped off as well.
