    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....

Bad Guy John Buhs, Brownsville, TX...SCAMMER?!?!?

i cant speak for other states but texas has a state issued ID card. perhaps for those without a drivers license or for those who have lost theirs for whatever reason. I'm not sure if its legal for a person to have both at one time but the ID card does exist...at least in texas.

They do exist. They exist for Georgia too. Not sure why you would present one instead of a DL though. Just wondering because of multiple names being used. Although with an arrest record apparently for both names, I guess it isn't that clear cut.
 
i hear ya. I'm not sure anything draper or buhs can or will do is clear cut except for the fact that what ever it is is likely wrong and/or illegal. alias or not it really blows my mind that a long time scammer would present a fairly key piece of evidence such as an ID (fake, stolen, or fake). perhaps a slip up on his end. someone as seasoned as him would surely know better. maybe he was weakened by greed.

I think this guy is pretty much done here. I almost wish I'd posted the second I read his ad just to prove I knew it was him but I wasn't willing to start a bad guy thread on a hunch. Im confident if I saw it that easily several other people did as well because his ads had 2 or 3 pages worth of inquiry and it's very clear most questions were based on skepticism that the animals even existed and I highly doubt anyone fell for it. I almost feel pushing too hard might cause him to start doing this for revenge vs need for money. I wish USARK or another group would start pushing for both paypal on the financial end and law enforcement on the legal end to start doing the right thing when it comes to this hobby because as long as nothing is done we will have to deal with this type of thing. I think if both the government and paypal understood how much money is put into our economy from the reptile trade they'd realize it's worth pursuing and I'd bet fed ex has made a lot of money off the ship your reptiles deal they made and maybe someday all the pertinent information will compiled and presented to the right people.
 
I highly doubt paypal would do something as they have insurance which covers most of these kinds of things. I heard a story from one of my friends where a guy he knew sold some expensive computer parts he didn't even have for a total of $5000 on ebay and just walked off with the money no consequences except for losing that paypal account.
 
I'm still on the fence about Dustin Allen Draper being his real name.

Or the SS I posted may not be the correct Draper.

State issued ID's are usually for people who have lost their license.

His old Facebook he scammed a few people off of now leads to "justin Allen draper." So middle name fits. Same county too.

I guess this guy just likes toying with people. He makes it pretty easy to put two and two together to identify him, if people will just put in the effort to look for the evidence. Which, it seems, people here are ready, willing, and certainly able to do.

Hit the submit reply too early. :eek:

That image I attached, in case it escaped some people's notice is the avatar that "John Buhs" is using for his account here. Look familiar?
 
i cant help but sit here and think about what might be going through draper/buhs mind right meow.... "wow....the bottom of this scam attempt just fell out completely!!". haha.

its insane the amount of evidence against him right now.

Webslave....nice!! sanitize at will!

When a person is banned from this site, the system removes the avatar from being visible to the public. I had to temporarily lift the ban in order to take a screen shot so it will put my earlier posted image in context.

It would be hilarious if this John buhs guy is bangin DD's wife lol wasn't that his wife kissing john in the earlier post? This could turn out a whole lot funnier if that's the case and they are 2 different people. Nailing a guys wife and taking over his scamming plots. Her profile said all that nonsense about bieng heartbroken maybe it's her way of getting one over on him.

Both profiles of the GF show the same guy.
Maybe DD changed his name to JB? Either way, it's the same guy.
 
Umm... I thought it was obvious, but apparently not. ;)

Christina & Dustin Draper were married.
Christina and Dustin split/divorced.
Christina & John Buhs are now together, leaving Dustin alone.

There are (2) separate/independent guys here, they are not the same person.
I would place my odds on Dustin simply using Christina and John's names as a hefty "screw you both". Exs often do this to get back at the other. It would be easy enough to heist OR take a picture of his ID card during a visitation to see his kids at Christina's place. If he took a picture during a visit, John would be none the wiser... until now.
