We have just received an anonymous tip that one of the most prolific con artists of Los Angeles has just been spotted in Knoxville, TN. Highly skilled in the art of the con, Drew Donovan has made off with millions of dollars from hundreds of ordinary people all over California and nationwide. Hotels, banks and real estate agents should be on the lookout, as Donovan has been known to use them in his confidence scams. He also uses technology to print fake checks, fake payments, fake phone calls, fake texts, etc.
Donovan’s scheme usually involves requesting financial help in exchange for thousands or millions of dollars from his phony inheritance. In addition, he is suspected of drug-related rapes of young men and kidnapping of a mother. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

My daughter and son both recent attendees at UT KNOX had been seated by this man during market square entertainment while we speak of the processes of using escrow to close a home purchase and what to expect, he seemed at ease and actually joked to the broker about how years ago when he was less than honest on numbers he would find ways to turn escrow offices against one another in order to broker better fees, something vile but nothing in the way I keep hearing and later realizing most of these defrauding attempts were on this loft blogs user only and that might be due to a loss you suffered but things with this mega con man just werent piling up as presented, there are bold accusations you say he raped and kidnapped, I looked into these accusations and found no charges related to those on him, again are we missing a block of decades this guy was at the top of his game and dis a turn around as it appears got his life together but its met eith harsh forgiveness for the staggering amounts of cash he captured and that would hurt egos all over town, We spoke to him about this and simply said, 20 yrs later and the same lame writer still writes things to bring light to his blog you know they still think of you its when nobody cares anymore you might wish you the twisted pop out stories leaving out dates but telling readers it may as well be today…. a see thru therory

He was just here in Wartburg trying to scam my neighbor. Thank goodness for your website. I googled his tag number and found everything and confronted him. He ran off before I could get the police involved. — Tina K. Sent from my iPhone
