Q: What’s happening with the dreww donnovan scam? A: Watch out! The perpetrator Drew Christian Donovan AKA Christian Andrews AKA Jimmy Wayne Jackson has been reported several times in the past few months, and as recently as a couple days ago, ripping off innocent people in Irvine and Laguna Beach, CA. #drewdonovan
He’s known for using pretend wealth, fake illness, fake distress, fake philanthropy, fake real estate offers, banks, ATMs, hotels, fake payments and fake payment confirmations as props for his fraud schemes and identity theft. #conartist #fraud
Be on the lookout for anyone claiming to be wealthy, who wants to give money to help other people. If the “philanthropist” asks for money, credit card or other assistance, stop and call the police.
READER REPORT
I worked with Drew at Bloomingdales. Today he called me with a wild story. He was crying and upset.
After everything I went home and googled his name your articles about him came up. I decided to pretend I did not read those and spent two days trying to negotiate to get my money back. Every day he would say he was oh his way to bring it. Yesterday I had enough. I did a group text with his number and all his co-workers checking in with everyone and saying hi. Then I sent him private text. I didn’t want to tell everyone what you did you have one day to return my money and make this right. He shortly after blocked my number then all our communications the next morning (today) were gone from my phone. I then text everyone in group from work your articles and two associates contacted me back. One said he reached out to her and tried to scam her. The second thinks he scammed one of the other associates. But she thinks the other associate is to embarrassed about it. I called the other associate to ask and she said she was not scammed. It looks like it was just one other attempt.
Thank you. As a group, we’ve gotten him arrested twice, and jailed for 6-12 months. We’ll get him locked up longer next time.
Sue him in small claims court. Civil lawsuits can slow him down and potentially get you some money, even land him in jail for contempt of court. Report all suspicious fraud activity to the police and to [email protected] | MORE
