Fijian raintree/monkey pod lumber
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)

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!

As a Norman business, Will A man blocked buyer and not answer buyer?
And not allow buyer to inspect ?not offer any load pictures？
Everyone can say made 20-100 fcl, and just dig more money from buyer, if you really finished things, 3 months we gave to you, Only 1 cbm finished ？are you joking ？
Hi Sir, your payment terms for your order were CAD, and when you decided not to make payment accordingly to contract, technically you were in breach as I told again and again, Still I on good faith shipped the first 10 containers of 50x20' containers to you anyway, giving you another 3 weeks to make payment. After we realized you had no intentions of making payment even 2 days before Shanghai arrival, we again called you and sent 3-4 emails urgently advising to make payment, Once the shipment arrive at to port Shanghai, we have no recourse for payment. Instead, you decided to cancel the order 2 days before arrival and then wanted a full refund on your deposit, are you serious? What did your contract say about this? By right you owe me 150k for Processing, labor, and freight charges which far exceed your good faith deposit.
This Man Eli Drake and his wife Lisa are totally scammer, I ever provided all the proves to fijian police and Chinese embassy，It was 2018 year, we sent him the deposit 42000 usd .But almost half year, he produce nothing in fiji side, and buyer flied to fiji to check this man Eli Drake pretended he was sick badly and can't meet, so we waited outside his hotel.after two days he took us to the mill, the mill manager said to us, Eli Drake only brought them few logs (4-6 logs to produce)That we sent him depsoit by Nov, He made excuse, weather was bad, bridge broken, etc.only hope to delay the shippments and only make more excuses at last.He took some pictures from other's mill and showed to us which he produced 10 fcls, that's so incredible, Cos buyer send him 42000 in Nov, till Feb we checked in fiji he only finished 1CBM, how would he finished 10 fcls in just few days?(This broker Eli Drake with his company resources fiji llc, he has no mill, no yard no office in fiji, but still pretended he has something in fiji and try americans and chinese to invest him)There's no need to waste time with such scammers .Also i believe this kind of business can't runing for long term.I exposed his scam online since 2019. Before April, this man Eli Drake promised will refund us some money and threated me if i put his name and company online, he will refund nothing .I trusted him and wait, but this man never keep his promise, he tries to ask other chinese to send him money pretended he has many lumbers in his own mill even ask chinese to invest him to build a port in fiji side, He is a very funny cheater, he thought all people will like me to trusted him at the beginning .In the whole deal, i am the agent for china buyer, Eli begged me to bring him some orders since 2017 year, also he asked another man helped him who named Gary, also eli drake cheated another chinese's deposit in 2016 named Wu Abing, His company in dongguan .and what's more, Eli Drake cheated sino timber's darren yang, he used his big mouth and plenty pictures from google album to online people, he hunts all the buyers from online, once people send him deposit, he produce few pieces ship to usa side.Cos in usa, seldom buyers will support him with any deposits.He violated the contract at the beginning, Buyer took me to fly to fiji after few months to check how many CBM he produced, buyer checked his cability, said he can't finished the 50 fcls contract so discussed with him to reduce it, But Eli denied, he said he can finish 50fcl (but 3 months only 1CBM)And threated my buyer to send him more deposit, and later he got 2 fcl with fake documents ask buyer to pay but refuse buyer to inspect nor visit fiji, at the same time, he talked with few chinese especially darren yang from sino timber, he pretened he has 5 fcl ready to ship to china and ask him to find a buyer for him.All those infos i got from cati, cos after i suffered his scam, i became a volunteer in china timber import assocation, I can totally feel how people feel after being cheated, As a volunteer in CATI, i obtain more evidence that Eli Drake scammed others in china. He started to cheated people since 2014 .I accepted my loss, but i will always keep exposing such fraud online, this kind of business should stop forever !

ELI DRAKE, his deception
1. He has no capital flow and sold Mahogany in the United States many years ago
2, He has no office in real, online office add is all fake
3. He is a person who boast that he knows the government people and want to find someone to cooperate in setting up a data board factory in Fiji.
4, He boasted that he has islands in Fiji and needs others to invest in port construction fees for him.
5, He cheated other people deposit to do their own things
6, He claimed he is Fijian local people to foreigners, but hold U.S. citizenship, the purpose is to let people trust him
7. He only do FOB price.Cos he wants to control the shipments.Our buyer found a good agent. He changed the container agent without permission and hid the truth of delivery in order to extort more money.
8. He took many professional pics of lumbers good packing timber and post online from different sawmills in fiji, in fact, there all all other’s.he just pretended that are his orders to the customers.He don’t do LC, always need 50%deposit.
Since he is an American, the contract was signed in Fiji, and the bank is also a Fijian account, it will take some time to capture him, so he is still active to make more scams. I hope people see this news can tell each other and be aware of this person.
