Billy and All,
Thank you for the advice… yes Thanks. I know there has to be a line between being BRAVE and being FOOLISH / STUPID! TWO things here: 1) I have done NOTHING wrong... {ha, gave this guy $300 getting silly stuff and then wanting it back!} It is MY place and MY privacy, should I run? Where to? Why should I have to! I understand with a MENTALLY OFF person like this I MUST be CONCERNED and CAUTIOUS but NOT SCARED! I sure am NOT inviting anything… IT’S MY PLACE!
We are in this Industry. It is our Industry! We are Pros. We can find out about anything about anybody! It does not matter if my Name, Address, Phone Number, e-mail address is on here and the Websites because “I am of Public Record with WhoIS”!
I own about 1,200 Domain Names… I am trying to SELL 1,200 Domain Names… I’m trying to make a living!
OK, WE ALL KNOW THIS: 2) We list our DNs on those auction / sales sites (you know who I mean S,A,GD) usually at a User / Retail price. Someone calls and says “my client saw and wants your URL listed on XXX for $900, I am a Web Designer – how much do you want for it? SOLD for $250!”. So if someone within our TRADE wants a certain DN, they just go to WhoIS (like DNtools etc). I have 1,200 DNs I’m trying to sell – I have made it easy for ANYONE to contact me… to buy from me.
SO YOU ASK: “Scott, Why don’t you get a Post Office box?” MY ANSWER: Why should I have to! – revert back to #1.
ANYWAY, All Chris’ WhoIS records show his address as: 15520 Jewel Avenue NO – NOT CORRECT, I KNOW IT. And phone number (remember I called HIM): some have the area code, some don’t… New York or Flushing? Common sense tells us no real difference, like where I live. Is it The Woodlands TX, Woodlands TX, Spring TX or Houston TX!

When searching for his name on Google, the following comes up:

http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/63572-beware-chris-desouza-very-dangerous-business-man.html (July 2009)

He does have reported sales on DNJournal, are they legit?

Holy cow....

Every domainer should read this... and learn how BLOW a good deal!

yo they put some crazy sht on that wickedfire about him.

 

[MAllie]

Well, I have to say that I'm very saddened by some of the links that have been posted about nameadvertising. If he's as bad as you all say, is this not descending to his level? And I don't care what you all think of me for saying this - I'm old enough to be able to speak my mind without being afraid of any of you or having it affect any dealings I might ever have on DNForum.

I think this thread should be closed now and legal remedy sought for any injury, with proper evidence for all the charges made.

Absolutely not.

I had no idea that this guy threatens arson and threatens to kill family members of those who decide not to buy domains from him. People can only keep doing this if it's kept secret, which is what you are suggesting.

Not sure what the laws are in New York, but in this state he could go to jail for the arson threat he has posted on his own website. That's something taken very seriously.

I completely agree with you. Such threats must be taken absolutely seriously and treated in the right place, which is surely a court of law.

But posting links like those that were posted earlier on the thread only blurs the whole issue by removing the emphasis from these threats and replacing it with other issues such as apparently unsubstantiated charges of porn, sexual abuse of children, etc.

I think that this rather defeats the whole object sought by the original poster.

I think it was the original poster's intent to warn others not to do business with that person. The links posted above further support the OP's claims by showing that others have been treated in the same way before.

Since you brought it up: I think the charges of sexual abuse of children are not to be taken seriously. It appears that the people who posted those charges on the forum linked to above only did so to tarnish Chris Desouza's reputation by posting such claims and then linking to his website. (This way he will come up in search results when searching for "child molester", for example.) I don't approve of such practices, but I thought I should point it out here to avoid that those other claims won't be mixed up with the problem at hand.

Another wenzeling in the making ?

Dominik... Correct, thanks (it took me a minute or two to write this)
Monica; I am the person who started all this. Thank you for your input, we do appreciate it. I did not have a clue that Chris D'Souza was like this, otherwise I would NOT have gone into partnership with him. Please read my original post and read this www.ChrisDSouza.com a website I created, then read the below e-mails. Also please keep in mind that I did this to PREVENT fine folks like you from being taken by evil people like this. I DO apologize about what NASTY posts from Chris has been passed on here. BUT CHRIS WROTE THE STUFF! If you have noticed, I have NEVER said or wrote any CURSE words… and won’t.
To set the tone of our partnership – the rules, this is the dialog e-mails about PORN:

From: ME

Subject: no p please

Chris - if you don't mind me saying. Off color OK.... like www.stopjerkingusaround.com (one of my sites). I know I'm missing out on the big $$$$$$$$, please, we all know 'skin sells' - NO porn! for ME?!!
Yes, silly me - whomever wants to do it, FINE but please NOT me. For me, a body is BEAUTIFUL not nasty.
I'm not so stupid.... whatever floats their boat...
Leave me on the SHORE!
Scott
PS: Not religious either... I am NOT a BIBLE thumper.... there are many other subjects.
YOU KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM, if someone wants a RED car, someone else wants a BLUE one !
Sorry Chris, I don't mean to be so demanding BUT like I wrote before, we can be GREAT together when we are on the same page. Your other Clients, what they want, I don't care...

scott,
i don't do adult domains. and seriously, i don't have any domain clients. i get new customers based on the names i register. once in a while i try to sell them at the forums. but that is a tough nut to crack....
that name is not bad, but it has that extra word - us. if it just was stopjerkingaround.com it would fetch a good penny. domains have to be exact keyword to sell fast. any extra letter, extra word devalues it by a lot.
our domains will be on scottchrisdomains.com - more soon
END OF E-MAIL - HE PUT SOME IN OUR HOLDINGS WITH ME BEING CO-OWNER - Hard or Soft... it's still porn! If anyone else wants to deal this it... FINE, not ME!

Then he writes: parents, God fearing? Not any more? What an understatement! Double & triple my money? With those porn and absolute LAME DN holding list! (this list is on that Chris website)

Scott
I received the funds. Now, you won't for a second believe that this will be wasted or I will disappoint you, will you?
I am a good guy. I won't let you down. My parents raised me well and god fearing, although I am not a believer anymore like I used to be.
I am going to email you by 11pm. If that's past your bed time, read it tomorrow. I will have our domain sales website up and running by 11pm.
We will now double triple this investment and take it from there.
Love you Scott. You are making me do things that I wanna do, but can't due to non participation from people who don't wanna take small risks.
Okay later 11pm
Many Thanks for your partnership.
END OF E-MAIL

Like I wrote above “…please keep in mind that I did this to PREVENT fine folks like you from being taken by evil people like this…”
ALSO, actually his names is spelled D'Souza and Maurice is his father - the first landmark court case of internet fraud / scam
Regards, Scott Petersen (see above posts for my actual address, phone # & e-mail address)

 

[MAllie]

Thanks, Scott. I do appreciate your motivation of warning others and that you back up your charges with the relevant evidence. I only wish others would do the same.

I hope that you can successfully resolve your situation and get your money back.

Hey Monica, I am half of where you live...
My Mother's maiden name is McClernon!
I would like to come see your beautiful country of my ancestry. Been almost everywhere else but there... should have been 1st! Darn-it!

 

[Mike Cruz]

Not reporting these threats to both your local authorities and his, imho, is incredibly irresponsible.

Don't worry, Scott, I'm sure there's plenty of time. You've left the best wine till last.

 

[MikeK]

His real name is probably not Chris Desouza at all, and the whois info might even be fake. http://watshit.com/chris-desouza-scammer/

Not all that surprising, and Scott, i'm very sorry you have had to deal with this. Being scammed out of your money is one thing in this industry, but being threatened and verbally abused like that, on the internet or otherwise, is a totally different thing.
