After I reported this to Fraud Watch
I received this e-mail back from them:
-----------------------------------------------------------
From: "FraudWatch Admin"
Date:Fri, Jul 09, 2004 1:04 am
Unfortunately, this email is a fraudulent lottery scam. This is a known scam that is currently circulating via both email and physical mail. Whilst the company names may change, the method of the fraudsters remain the same.
The fraudsters will ask for personally identifiable information that could be used in an Identity Theft scheme. They will also ask for payment of taxes, legal fees or other fees for payment before the money can be released, which it never will.
Fraudsters have many ways of scanning the Internet, and people's address books for email addresses, and it is unfortunate they have gained your email addresses in this way, and used it for the purpose of trying to defraud you.
I would recommend you do not have any communication with this company, and certainly do not disclose any personal or financial account information.
You can forward this and other fraudulent emails to our scams@fraudwatchinternational.com email address where our Investigative Team will work to shut down this scam and the fraudster's means of communication.
Kindest Regards,
Administration & Investigations Team

All the poems and stories in my site were written with the hope that they would stir the reader's emotions. I wrote most of them from my own life's experiences and those of the people I have met through out my life. The others I wrote simply from an over active imagination.
They are not meant to portray my emotional state or that of anyone person, but rather the possible emotional state of most people at sometime in their life.
Although some deal with what some people would call fantasy. The ones about Dragon's (who's to say there were no Dragon's once or that they may still be around), even they can stir up ones emotions.

I started building my Lair back in late 1996 when I was with AOL. In 2001 I left AOL and moved my lair to its current home.
It was originally created using Allaire's - HomeSite 3.0, then Homesite 4.0, and as of Feb. 6th, 2005 I started using HTML-Kit Version 1.0 (Build 292).
Also on Feb. 6th, 2005 I began updating DragonMay's Lair from HTML code to CSS code, and I finished it on March 7th, 2007.
On Monday, Sep 26th, 2005 I started adding my Rail Way Station to my site. Due to some small bugs which were quickly worked out as we came across them, and my work schedule I finely got it up and running with 4 (four) different internet "Rail Way" trains running in and out of it on Saturday, Oct 8th, 2005.
I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.
You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.
There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.
My Lair is best viewed at screen resolution 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch or larger monitor or 800 x 600 with a smaller monitor.
It is best when viewed on Internet Explorer Version 6.0
Other browsers may not show the pages correctly or completely.
This site can also be viewed correctly using Netscape Browser it you have it set to use the Internet Explorer "Rendering Engine".
Too set this up in your Netscape Browser; with it open click on Tools, then Options, then Site Controls. In this window look to the lower right corner for Rendering Engine and select Internet Explorer and click OK. If you do not have Internet Explorer's Rendering Engine listed you will have to download and install Internet Explorer (see link above to get I.E.).
If you do not have Netscape Browser and would like to try it you can download it from here:
If you want to see my lair with the Font I use you will need to have the font Antique. If you do not have it you can download it here: Antique Font
The Music on some pages are set to auto-play and loop. Other pages are not set to auto-play. You can turn the music on and off with the controls at the bottom of every page.
It works best if you use RealOne Player as your default Midi Internet player.

All my poems and stories are copyrighted. That does not mean I think they are great, but rather that I wish for them not to be taken and used against my will to represent something I did not intend them to. They are for the enjoyment of those who wish to read them, nothing more.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for school, all I ask is that the poem/poems be copied in full including the copyright information. And that you email me twice. First to let me know which poem/poems you want to use. And a second email to let me know what comments good or bad were made about the poem/poems. As this will help me in the future to write even better poems.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for any other reason, please email me with which poem and what you would like to use it for. I will get back to as soon as possible, as I check my email everyday 3 (three) or 4 (four) time a day.
I do not want any of my poems, or stories displayed, or put up on anyones else's web site. You are how ever, more than welcome to put a link to any Poem or Story in my Lair on your site if you would like.
