In our unfortunate continuing series about prolific local and interstate con-artist Drew Christian Donovan AKA Christian Andrews AKA Jimmy Wayne Jackson, the L.A. Loft Blog has received another update from innocent victims and good samaritans who are working to prevent and stop the financial devastation to individuals and families all over California. Here’s the latest report on the convicted fraud felon, an update from the friend of a victim:

Drew Christian Donovan
Fraud: Donovan AKA Andrews AKA Jackson

He has frauds my friends over the weekend but fortunately enough they picked up on the fact that he was a fraudster and called the police to hotel and got him arrested in South San Francisco yesterday. He’s in custody at Redwood county jail. Your post was very informative

We have not been able to verify that Donovan is at Redwood County Jail based on their custody website.  Donovan is super slippery, so he’s probably talked his way out of it already like he usually does.  Eventually, he will be prosecuted because of his huge number victims, victimization of real estate businesses, home buyers and sellers, reported kidnapping, suspected poisoning and rapes, and large size of the total take (in the millions). After reporting him to the police (give the police a link, victims should also file a civil lawsuit against Donovan because civil judges can also jail Donovan for contempt of court when he fails to cooperate.

Real Estate Con Man Drew Christian Donovan AKA Christian Andrews AKA Jimmy Wayne Jackson Update

Bad News:  Fraudsters are by nature slippery and elusive. #drewdonovan

The L.A. Loft Blog has created the Trickster Tracker to help buyers and agents in the real estate industry to avoid Donovan’s trap. Originally from a Michigan trailer park, Donovan has scammed sophisticated individuals, including real estate professionals in Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Diego. We just received several more reports that the con artist has just hit marks in Santa Barbara and several in Monterey, as reported by real estate professional Patricia Mallobox of TNT Realty.  It takes a group effort to combat a talented flamflam man like Donovan AKA Andrews AKA Jackson has he is using his tried and true method of pretending to be rich, feigning the need for assistance due to his terminal illness and meddling parents, and offering to pay bills, buy cars and buy nice homes for those who are deserving.  Of course it is a scam, but very difficult to detect as the hoser is extremely skilled and convincing.

Here are the top three frauds to watch out for in Downtown Los Angeles real estate, starting with the most recently reported:  #christianandrews

1  Drew Christian Donovan AKA Christian Andrews convinces people to buy homes, go into escrow with a million dollar home, promising that he will pay their bills, pay cash for their home, while he then demands hundreds or thousands of dollars to help cover his expenses. He also needs help hiding out from his meddling rich parents (he’s actually hiding from his previous victims and police).  A convicted felon and highly skilled confidence man, he uses convincing tools such as fake payment confirmations, fake checks etc.  #jimmywaynejackson

2  Fake lofts for lease – Agent or manager offers amazing lofts, condos, apartment or house for rent at a very low price.  Desperate renters fill out the online application while the agent/manager is out of town.  The fraudster sells the renter’s identity on the dark web. The victim is left with bad credit and debt. The fake rentals are listed on Craigslist, Apartments.com etc.

3  Fake escrow bank wire earnest money deposit scam – Fraudsters send fake emails to home buyers that look like escrow requests for earnest money deposit or purchase funds.  The bank wire goes to the fraudster’s overseas bank account.  The fraudster withdraws the money and keeps it to live happily ever after, often $10,000 to $1 million or more.  The victim may never recover financially.

While Downtown Los Angeles is the most exciting place on earth with perhaps the most potential for a super future, there are always hidden dangers that require a watchful eye. There are common disasters that can be easily avoided. All Downtown loft buildings have issues that buyers should be aware of before looking at properties for sale.
