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.
