Tom Dimos relayed to me his experience with Jay, who also goes by the name “Craig Mayor,” “Justtryingtomakeit,” and uses the email addresses takingthebank@gmail.com and melarvae@yahoo.com. Jay advertises his holy grail baccarat system throughout the internet, especially on Craigslist. I wrote about him in a previous posting here. Tom, who is an experienced gambler and […]
Month: June 2010
In previous posts (Science, Not Gambling and Would You Let a Guy On Meth Gamble With Your $20,000?), I wrote about a guy who caught my attention as being probably a scammer (due to his outrageous claims), as well as possibly sincere (due to his promising proof of his claims). He advertised a guaranteed way […]

Tony Lango @ It Again!
Tony Lango (Anthony Lango) changes color faster than a chameleon. In his previous appeal for working partners (which I wrote about here, original Tony Lango post here), he wanted 6 people each with $15,000 to join his business as working partners. Just a few days later, he now is advertising for 18 people each with […]
The guy who is behind the “Science, not Gambling” ad (written about in my previous post here) did finally respond to me, and we emailed back and forth much of the day. Put simply, the guy is a paranoid delusional nut case. He said that someone had reported him to the police, presumably the “stalker” […]

Tony Lango’s New Spin
Now Tony Lango (Anthony Lango) has a new spin. He’s looking for “working partners” to join his possible scam. When talking to him before about his baccarat system (previous post here), he admitted that he’s not getting many new students these days. He thinks it’s due to the recession. I think it’s due to people […]

Scamming: The Rule Rather Than The Exception
The deeper I wander into the online community of gambling, investing, finances, and anything else related to money, the more I find that the scams are rule, rather than the exception. It would be a full time job just to list all of the scams out there, let alone research and document each one. And […]
Seems like more and more of these baccarat scams are surfacing. I found this ad, again in Craigslist: ^^ MAKE A SMALL FORTUNE PLAYING BACCARAT!^^ (Las Vegas) Hello Reader, First, I would like to say that I am in no way, a scam or a fraud, nor have I ever been accused of being one! […]
It all began with an ad I found on Chicago’s Craigslist: $$$ LEARN TO EARN A $500 CHIP!..EVERY MORNING IN CASINO’S!!! $$$ (We Have Taught 950 People In Vegas!) “OUR GROUP OF LAS VEGAS INSTRUCTORS TEACH CLASSES EVERY SUNDAY! AT “MAJOR HOTELS” IN ARLINGTON HTS. “ALL CASINOS ARE THERE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY!..THEY DON’T BUILD […]
I was expecting to hear back from several people today, none of whom have contacted me. But one person finally did get back to me today, whom I was not at all expecting: Ellis Clifton Davis. After many days of having heard nothing from him, I assumed I had just been brushed aside as someone […]
