The Man named Eli Drake, regiested companies both in usa and Fiji. He has no office in Fiji, but cheated asien people he has one. the sawmill not belong to him. He rent a small room in usa, richmond, california, sell his slabs. as we knew Among only 3 years, he scammed 3 chinese customers' Deposit (all proves from CATI-china timber import assocation), He used the money to produce slabs/lumber in Fiji and shipped to USA, he gave the slabs for some retail shops to help him for sale in America, he even no money to pay for the truck and KD cost in American mill. Nobody has really send him any deposit from usa. But he talked with all european and american customers he is the supplier for some big companies in The U.S. we lost 42000 USD on him. we paid the lesson, I hope all people get away of this scammer Eli Drake (His wife Lisa) also be aware of his company (Resources fiji LLC)
I ever posted him on google, but he paid the site to hide all the proves there. I am trying to find another way to expose his fraud and fake business.
Desired outcome: refund the money

Raintree sawn timber
The owner of Resources fiji llc this company names Eli Drake.He is Black man But with different American passports.
Since year 2016 ,This company scammed asien people's deposit and keep shipping Exotic Hardwoods to America.
He told people he was fijian and own mill in Fiji,but the fact was he has nothing in Fiji ,Only a Partner who is a fijian without jobs but work together with Eli Drake.
2016 Year ,He scammed Cati Member Alex six thousand dollars and disappear.
2018 Year,He made use of internet wood knowledge and lure chinese to visit him in Fiji.(He made use of me and beg me to introduce him some customers and orders from china which i tried in 2017,i trusted him cos he said he is the supplier for several good companies in USA ,which we found their BLs from internet )
After my Chinese customer sent him 42000 USD ,He violented the contract and never ship anything but ask for more Deposit.That's Why I had taken my customer flied to fiji for 3 times,He said he was badly sick ,So we went to his hotel.He said he must keep on doing this order but ask us to give him more deposit to process.
At that time,we totally realised we got his fraud.We found he took 42000USD bought mohagony logs to produce into lumbers shipped to USA.THREE months ,He used our money only bought 8-10 Raintree logs to start our order in FIJI mill and tried to show us the milling,He hopes we would GIVE him more DEPOSIT.
Finally ,he said he will refund us thousand deposit in 2019 April,But he didn't. After one year 2020 and 2021 we found him shipped some mahogany lumbers to usa (Resources fiji llc is the shipper and cosignee/notify party )
In fact, he is just a middleman/broker without enough money/cash flow, but due to the cultural differences between eastern and western countries, he took advantage of the weakness of the Chinese buyers, showed everyone his previous bill of lading and some invoices to gain the trust from customers, only trying to scam deposit, then disappeared, Even ask people to invest him to open a port in Fiji or start a Mill there.He even claimed online that he was a victim. It was extremely shameless.
With this company and this scammer Eli Drake,People Only wasting time and wasting money.Be aware. we paid our lessons already!
Alert: Scammer Eli Drake is trying to scam people again. He had kept our deposit for over 4 years without any delivery of the goods.

After he took our money, they both blocked me and run away to CA during the Covid period. Be aware of him !
