A win for the reptile community! Mark Braud

[Neal]

I posted on facebook, and I was posting other places, so I'm posting here now. This guy was a known scammer in the ball python community.

This is Mark Braud, he was arrested today after all the scamming he has done over the last two years. I had been tracking him for over two years as he's scammed a lot of people under numerous aliases. I'll list the ones I know further down in the post. If you've been scammed by him and have filed a police report you need to press charges and call the Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office. He's facing charges there, also in St. Tammany and in Brookhaven Mississippi. I think additional charges are pending for other places. I'm glad my hard work paid off, and also the help of the two individuals who have filed police reports and reached out to me in order to make this happen. Also the girl I won't name that set up a fake sale for me.

He's known as:
Mark Braud
Core McDaniel
Preston Lloyd
Dustin Grishom
Lance Brumfield

He has other aliases as well that I don't know off the top of my head but please feel free to comment with them. Today is a win for our community as a piece of trash was arrested and should be done scamming people, hopefully for good.

Good job. I like the hilariously sad photo also.

Yea, he has more aliases. I've been tracking him for a little over two years, and I told him then I would catch up with him sooner or later and I kept my word. I found a way to track his new accounts and I would forewarn people, however without proof some of my messages fell on deaf ears of some of the group admins on facebook. I couldn't risk telling people how I was tracking him and it getting out, because then I wouldn't be able to track and warn people. In the end, I organized everything last night, slept for about 3 hours because I was so excited, then first thing in the morning I went and got all the legality handled with the sheriffs office and we got everything done. I was there, though he didn't seem to recognize me without my beard, and he asked who's that? I said: It's Neal and I was hardly able to contain my grin. His jaw about dropped and he looked like he'd seen a ghost.
