If you contact the authorities, we can catch this guy with your help! DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY - HE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO VICTIMIZE OTHER PEOPLE. HELP US STOP HIM BY CONTACTING THE POLICE!

Dave was last been spotted in Evansville, Indiana (March 20, 2009).

See a video report here.

He was living in a boarding house, and bragging about a mansion and a yacht in Florida. There he was using both his real name, David S. Srail, as well as David Nascaric. Again, if you see Dave Srail, be SURE to contact who is coordinating the manhunt for this rip-off artist!

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFRONT DAVE SRAIL YOURSELF - DAVE MAY BE ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

...and Dave, if you're reading this, this site was created by your former best friend's mother in Ft. Lauderdale. Someday, somewhere, we will get you. Trust me. I won't give up!

Before you do business with this man, or hire him to work for your company, you should definitely invest a bit of time reading what we have placed here on this site.  If you are still willing to do business with this man after reading our site, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. 

Don't get me wrong.  Plenty of very cautious and investment savvy people have fallen prey to his con game.  That does not make them bad people ... it makes Dave Srail a very good con artist, a crook, and an unscrupulous bastard who took people's hard-earned money and gambled it all away.

As of July, 2007, our best estimate is that he has absconded with LOTS of other people's hard-earned cash: In Ohio, over $100,000. In Florida, over $200,000 and in the Austin/San Antonio area an unknown amount. If you have been a victim of Dave Srail's con, or if you know where he is today, please contact Detective Bailey at the number listed above.

In south Florida in 2005, he did it under the ruse of buying antiques and antique stamps at auction and then selling them for a substantial profit. He promised great profits in a very short time.  He went to elaborate lengths to create seemingly legitimate business transactions, when in reality, he was at the race track every weekend. Prior to this, back in 1998, he admits to having scammed his own parents and others in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

In the San Antonio/Austin area in 2007 he conned people into investing in a warehouse scam. Again, he was really at his favorite place: The racetrack. These are only two of the scams he uses to trick people into "loaning" him thousands of dollars in hopes of a high return on their "investment". In mid-2007 he skipped town overnight - just up and disappeared with thousands of dollars given to him in good faith by hard working people who thought he was their friend.

In March of 2008 Dave was in Seattle, Washington where he allegedly pulled a knife on his roommates after they read this site and tried to confront him. Felony charges are pending.

In July of 2008 he was in Lincoln, Nebraska where he met a woman while they were both participating in a drug trial. He also participated in a drug trial in San Antonio, so this is one of the ways he has of scouting out his victims.

As of February 2009, he was in Evansville, Indiana. If you have additional information on con games this man has played on people, please to either be included here, or to help with the investigation. You may request your name or any other personally identifying information to be deleted from what we post here and your request will be respected. You may also contact the police and remain anonymous, but please contact either the police or us! We need to stop this guy! Srail frequents a small town north of there called Haubstadt. He was trying to ingratiate himself with a company to assist with fundraising in the local community.

The pages entitled, "I.H.O.W.-1 through I.H.O.W.-4" (In His Own Words) are pictures of his handwritten statement, in a letter to a friend, of how he scams people, his (sorry) excuses, and various explanations as to why he screwed the people he supposedly cared about. This is just an example of how he screwed NUMEROUS people in the south Florida area. 

It appears he may be planning to use a similar scam in the future, but the likelihood of his conscience biting him on the butt is not very great.  This is a man who openly admits to having no scruples.

Remember the old adage:  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
