Special Notes ;

I blurred the persons picture, added the words "void", and shrunk the image down so that it can not be used by anyone else. This should help protect the Identity of the person who I think must have been scammed into sending this passport to the scammers.

This scammer is really stupid: Hmmmm, Lets see, Married 27 years, he died in 2001 and today is 2005 that would be 4 years ago (27 + 4 = 31) or married in 1974. Yet on the passport she sent me it says she was born in 1970 (1974 - 1970 = 4). So she was married when she was only 4 years old?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sent this back to her with the hope that if she is as stupid as she seems to be then she might just sent me a picture of herself with dark skin, we shall see;

Dearest Melissa:

I received the copy of your passport, I'm afraid I am having a hard time seeing your picture clearly. Seems the older I get, the worse my eyes get. I have had to start wearing Bi-focals and I have a hard time focusing on images that have something over them like the hologram over your picture. Do you think you could send me a normal picture of yourself, maybe if you had one in front of your church? I love your dark skin and dark hair I just wish I could see you more clearly. I love seeing picture from around the world of Gods houses and I think you would add to the beauty of God Home.

I apologize for not contacting your attorney already, but I need to be sure of what I am doing and feel this is the safest way to ensure that we both know something about each other. As for my passport, well I never needed one before. All my travels have been in the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada. My travels abroad were done back when I was in the military and my military ID was all I needed back then. I would need time to apply for one if it was needed.

I will try to contact your attorney this week. I hope that this fines you well.

Sincerely,

John

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I didn't get the picture this time. I will give her a few more days and then try once more for it. I think after that I will probably end this.;

Dear John,

how are you? I have been trying so hard to get the nurses here to allow me take a picture and they have kept on refusing that this is against their rules. I have demanded that i wish to speak with the doctor about it and as soon as he agrees i will send it to you.

Meanwhile please do contact the attorney.

I was not going to send the so called Barrister an email and was going to just work on getting the picture from her. So I decided to report the so called Barrister to Google since his email account is a gmail account and what they are doing goes against Google's terms of service;

Dear Google;

I receive scam email regularly and correspond with them via email in order to collect information about them. Such as email address, phone numbers and other information so I can report them and put the information up on my web site so that other people can see them and not get scammed by them. I have received an email with the name of a so called Barrister Daniel Dasilva Esq., one of the scammers. I am reporting this to you since as far as I can tell using your service for the purpose of scamming money from people is against your Terms of Service. He is using a g-mail account and here is a copy of the email with his g-mail account;

If you need anymore information please feel free to send my an email at john@dragonmay.com

I got an auto response from Google. And then I received this from Google's Gmail Team the following morning, I want to add that so far I have reported five scammer email address to Yahoo so far and have yet to get a response from them about the reports. They did how ever shut down at least one scammer email account so far.

Attention :Sir,

I have been briefed in proper by the lady Ms Melissa Pointer and i have decided to help this lady at all cost.

Well as you should know,we are talking about you retrieving the sum of $3.5m from this Security firm/private bank in Europe and i suppose that the lady must have told you that you will be rewarded for this assistance with a certain percentage of this amount.(please confirm that you are satisfied with this)

The sole reason i am getting involved in this project is because i know that it is 100% legal and also risk free as i was a member of the team of delegates that made this deposit in the lady's name .

The only suggestion and advise which i have for you is that you must make sure that you do not disclose the details of this project to a third party considering the fact that this might result in a lot of complications arising based on the amount of money in question.

Apart from this, i will be able to guide you towards the successful completion of this project with the next 7 days from your receipt of this mail.

Before we proceed however, i will require the following informations from you that will prompt me to:

-release the certificate of deposit which was issued to the name of the lady after the fund was deposited.

-open correspondence between yourself and the security firm in question.

-prepare a change of beneficiary/release order

-your full names

-your contact address and also your contact telephone number(private)

-your marital status

-your age and also gender.

-your country

-your occupation and also your position in place of work

-a copy of either your international passport or drivers license sent by fax to +448701224241 .

Please note also that you will have to confirm from me if you would prefer travelling to Europe to pick up this fund or you would prefer that it be completed electronically. You will also have to call me on my direct lines which are +447040111509 or +447040111396 (compulsory)

Yours in Service,

Barrister Daniel Da Silva Esq.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I in turn sent off the complete email and header to the Gmail team. I got a thank you back from them saying they would investigate and take appropriate action if they find that the Gmail Terms of Use have been violated.

I had hoped they would act quickly on this, so I waited a couple of days before sending anything else out.

Since I had not hear for the scammer calling herself Melissa for a few days I sent her this :

Dear Melissa;

How are you feeling? Hope you are feeling better.

I contacted the attorney and I am getting some of the information together for him.

How is the picture of you coming? It can be an older picture of you; it does not have to be one of you in the hospital. Do you have any with your church in the background? I do love looking at churches from around the world. I hope you can send one very soon. I would really like to see what you look like since I can not make out what you look like from your passport photo, because of the hologram over the picture. All I can see is it looks like you have dark skin and dark hair.

John

Dear Sir;

Your reply to my last email to you has surprised me to say the least. What surprises me is the fact that you're an attorney and I would think as such you would be practiced at understanding words and their meanings.

This is what I sent you: (I am getting together the information you requested, but I need to know do I need a passport? I never needed one before. All my travels have been in the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada. My travels abroad were done back when I was in the military and my military ID was all I needed back then. I would need time to apply for one if it was needed.)

And this is your reply: (a copy of your military id card would be sufficient.)

No were did I say that I still have a military I.D. anymore. I said "back when I was in the military" and "my military ID was all I need back then". Granted I did not say that I left the military over 20 years ago, but I should not have needed to say when I left. Just the fact that I was talking in the past tense should have been enough. At least every attorney I ever meet made their living by understanding and using words to their advantage.

I now find myself wondering if you truly an attorney or are you just on the legal staff. I think it would be best if you sent me a copy of your license or what ever you call it over there that say's you are a attorney and can legally practice law. I will not send any more information about my self till you send it to me.

Thank You

Attention sir,

you have to understand that there is no human that is perfect. You should know this based on the fact that you were once a military personnel!

I have more than 300 clients to attend to each day,personally and by email/telephone. All i need from you is a copy of any form of your identification that will show that you are who you are claiming to be.

Please forgive me for the error. You will only need to have an international passport if you wish to travel over to Amsterdam to pick up the funds in person.

Da Silva Esq.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boy talk about a long winded reply! Here is what I sent him back to see if I could get him mad (it turn out just a bit longer that I was thinking. But what the heck):

-----------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Melissa pointer

From: john@dragonmay.com

Date: Sat, Apr 30, 2005 7:55 pm

To: Daniel Da Silva dasilvachambers1@gmail.com

Dear Sir:

I am finding it harder with each email to believe you are who you say you are. In my last email the last thing I said was this; (I think it would be best if you sent me a copy of your license or what ever you call it over there that say's you are an attorney and can legally practice law.) And this; (I will not send any more information about myself till you send it to me.) I think that should be easy enough to understand!

As to your reply;

First; (you have to understand that there is no human that is perfect. You should know this based on the fact that you were once a military personnel!)

You are right; no one is perfect least of all me. But I would think an attorney would at least take the time to understand what he/she is reading before responding to it. Any professional that is any good at all would do not less. A professional would also answer all question asked of them when they responded with the other party having to keep repeating them selves.

Second; (I have more than 300 clients to attend to each day,personally and by email/telephone.)

Now understand I am coping and pasting your own words. I find it imposable than anyone could in anyway take care of MORE THAN 300 CLIENTS PESONALLY EACH DAY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

Let's look at this. It takes approximately 1 (one) minute just to open and read a short email, and another 2 (two) minutes to type a response. It should be a little longer than that, but we will use 3 (three) minutes for this example. Using only emails; 300 (three hundred) clients, times 3 (three) minutes, equals 900 (nine hundred) minutes or 15 (fifteen) hours.

That leaves you only 9 (nine) hours to eat at least two meals (if you buy your meals at least an hour and a half), go to the bathroom once or twice (at least a half hour including walking to and from the bathroom), get from where you live to where you work and back home again (at least an hour, if your live near where you work), And at least another (3/4) three quarters of an hour to shower and dress in the morning and an half hour to get ready for bed at night (including falling asleep). Now let's say you only take a ¼ (one quarter) hour break to relax each day and at least ½ (one half) hour to talk to co-works, friends, etc. That's 5 ½ (five and one half) hours, subtract that from the 9 (nine) hours and it only leaves 3 ½ (three and one half) hours to sleep and do anything else you need to do. Now that if you deal only with clients by email.

If you deal with any clients by phone instead of email you would add another 2 (two) minutes to the amount of time it would have took you to email them. Out of the 300 (three hundred) clients lets say you deal with only 30 (thirty) of them by phone. That would be an additional 60 (sixty) minutes or 1 (one) hour (the extra 2 (two) minutes times 30 (thirty) clients). That brings you down to only 2 ½ (two and one half) Hours left.

Now if you personally meet with lets say only 30 (thirty) clients instead of using email, and you only see them for 15 (fifteen) minutes you would add another 13 (thirteen) minutes to the amount of time it would have took you to email them. 30 (thirty) clients, times 13 (thirteen) minutes would be 390 (three hundred and ninety) minutes or 6 ½ (six and one half) hours.

Oh, guess what? That would mean you are in the negative. 2 ½ (two and one half) hours minus 6 ½ (six and one half) hours equal -4 (minus four) hours.

So could you explain how you fit a 28 (twenty eight) hour day into a 24 (twenty four) hour day that everyone else lives by? And that is with flying through your clients and not spending anytime with them. Now I don't know about other people but I would not want an attorney working for me that didn't have the time to sit and talk or explain thing to me. After all if I already new how to do the legal matters what would I need an attorney for?

I must thank you for answering my question about the passport, and no I would not want to travel to Amsterdam.

A waiting your reply.

I don't know what part he played in the transfer of your money, but I think others must have been the ones to do it and he is just taking credit for it. I do not understand this.

I received this back from attorney scammer Wednesday night. Now let's see, he is supposed to be in the U.K. and he traveled to Madrid which is in Spain last time I checked. I do believe he would have needed to take his passport with him to get into Spain and back out. So how would his secretary have been able to send me a copy on Monday morning? Unless he or she had already scanned it into the computer before he left. But if that's the case why couldn't he attach it to this email now instead of waiting till tomorrow morning again?

I finely got the attorney scammer's passport today. It's only 5 days late from when he first said he would send it, and 2 day later than when he said he would send it the second time. The only problem is you can see that it is a fake. First the base or original image is blurred to the point you can not make out the smaller print. The next layer added was the information: name, birth date, country, issue date, expiration date, and the passport numbers. All of which are only partially blurred. The next layer added is the picture its self (which I blurred the face my self in case they took the picture off someone else's passport to protect the identity of that person). Also the "this holder is not required to sign" was added at the same time as the picture. Both of them are clear and not blurred in the original image I was sent:

So I made up an identification from an 5 year old "Park N View" membership card from when I drove over the road. You would connect a cable from your truck to a ground connection box so you could accesses cable TV and the internet. I used an old picture of U.S. President, John F. Kennedy. Then added a few things like a name (John T. Macs). The last name is scam spelled backwards. And no, "T" is not my middle initial either. Well, I attached the fake Id and emailed it to the attorney.

I can not send you a copy of my driver license because it is a commercial license with a hazards material or hazmat endorse. Because of this I am not permitted by law to make any copies of my license. This is due to the possibility of terrorist activity and is enforced by Homeland Security.

So I am including the only other photo identification I have. It is my 'Park and View" identification which I use when at work. It uses a profile picture instead of a front view as is more normal with photo identification. I hope this will suffice.

Opss, I sent the email with out attaching the fake Id, so I sent another one right away with this little note. And I attached the fake Id this time.

Attention Sir

I am sorry for forgetting to attach the my ID. So here it is.

Attention Sir;

What do you mean "i am so sorry to inform you that i do not wish to proceed with assisting yourself and the lady with the completion of this project!"? You don't wait until you get a copy of someone identification then say that. Is there something wrong? I sent you a perfectly good form of identification for myself. If you need some other type of identification, then tell me. What is going on?

I await a reply from you explaining yourself!

I am also sending a copy to Melissa. Someone better explain what is going on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally received this back after I resent my last one 3 times:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Subject: MY IDENTIFICATION!

From: Daniel Da Silva dasilvachambers1@gmail.com

To: john@dragonmay.com

Sir,

this is a personal decision. Tell the lady to get you another lawyer. I will pass on the documents to the lawyer upon her reuqest!

Da Silva Esq.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I sent this both scammers, and resent it only two time till I got a reply;

-----------------------------------------------------------

Subject: MY IDENTIFICATION!

From: john@dragonmay.com

To: Daniel Da Silva dasilvachambers1@gmail.com

Cc: melissa pointer assistmelissa1@yahoo.co.in

Sir;

What do you mean a personal decision? I set you my Identification and you do this! Are you scamming me? Is that what this is? You get me to send you a form of my ID and then say, "Oh, Sorry, But I change my mine". You think I will just forget about it? I bet you not even an attorney are you? Well?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I received this back after re sending my last one a second time:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Subject: MY IDENTIFICATION!

From: Daniel Da Silva dasilvachambers1@gmail.com

Date: Tue, May 24, 2005 4:16 am

To: "john@dragonmay.com"

Sir,

i am not satisfied with the identification which you sent as there are alterations in it! I cannot be part of what might cause problems in the future!

Da Silva Esq.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, enough is enough. I have had it with these scum bags so I sent this final email to both scammers;

-----------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Final Email

From: john@dragonmay.com

Date: Wed, May 25, 2005 9:30 pm

To: Daniel Da Silva dasilvachambers1@gmail.com, melissa pointer assistmelissa1@yahoo.co.in

Dear Scammers:

First, for the so called attorney, you said this in your last email to me: 'i am not satisfied with the identification which you sent as there are alterations in it! I cannot be part of what might cause problems in the future!"

Well, you're right about that. After receiving copies of your passports you each sent me there was no way I was going to send either of you a real identification. The identification I sent you was a card from a company that went out of business years ago. The photo I added to it was of the U.S. President, John F. Kennedy. The name was a fake also, and if you read the last name (Macs) backwards, it says 'SCAM". I also added a few other things. It took me all of 5 minutes to make it up for you.

Now about your passports: You can see that both of them are fake.

First the so called attorneys:

The base or original image is blurred to the point you can not make out the smaller pink color print. The next layer added was the information name, birth date, country, issue date, expiration date, and the passport numbers. All of which are only partially blurred. The next layer added is the picture itself. Also the 'this holder is not required to sign" was added at the same time as the picture or just before or after the picture. Both of them are clear and not blurred in the original image I was sent. Lastly the picture and all of the added type is off set from the original passport.

Now for the so called Melissa:

Are you really that stupid or what? In your first scam letter you said you were married 27 years and that your husband died in 2001. You should be around at least 49 years old (if you married at 18 years old) or older. But the passport you sent me says you were born in 1970. Now lets see, Married 27 years, he died in 2001 and today is 2005 that would 4 years ago, so they were married 27 + 4 = 31 years ago or in 1974. Yet by her passport she was born 1970, 1974-1970= 4. She was married when she was only 4 years old? Now come on, I heard of getting married young. But 4 years old, you really are stupid to think anyone would believe that.

Now both of you are nothing but low life scum bags using the word and name of God to rip people off.

For the scum that is using the name Melissa, you say in your original scam letter: 'I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord". Well, all I got to say to you is this. You should be scared beyond belief because the only bosom your will be in is the DEVIL'S, and that goes for the scum bag playing the attorney.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is finished as far as I'm concerned. I will add more if I get any.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make no mistake about it, this is a scam.
Do not give out any of your personal or financial information.

DragonMay's Lairs History
and updates.

For more current updates visit My Lairs Web Journal's. The links are at the bottom of all my pages.

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.

For Best Viewing:

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

  This is a must read  !

    

    Do you have a letter or e-mail that you have received that sounds too good to be true. Then it probably is. Something like:  you have won a large sum of money, or maybe someone wants to pay you or give you money.

    

    What ever you do:
  DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL AND BANK INFORMATION !
  DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY !

    

    There are a lot of Scam's, Fraud's, and Rip-off's out there on the internet as well as the regular mail.
