Melvin Pereira involved since the beginning... Hidden for a reason in Ken Chua's Chimera company. interesting from 2005 lists Melvin as Administrative Contact for E-Network Costa Rica and this was part of the Chimera technology scam - not many facts but seems ya always had to go round in circles to get any legit information.
Or more accurately, the fax machine with which I was faxing yesterday had a copy of the ``Superstock Smallcap Report / Our Next Pick: PGGG`` sitting on it. As I have a history developing wireless and internet-based gaming products, I was interested enough to keep the page. My favorite part of the fax was at the bottom where it says:
``To request not to receive future faxes from the sender of this fax, please call (800) 619 6326``. That`s a nice touch. The fake spam contains a fake phone number. Aficionados will recognise this number as a ZIP CODE LOOKUP service.
Since I saw the press release this morning decrying this ``unauthorized spam``, I did a little more checking into both Chimera and Pegasus.
First, who actually registered Pegasusgaming.com as a web site? ->

So it appears at least I found the correct ``pegasusgaming.com`` entry. Note under the ``Meta keywords`` the following:
So it appears at least I found the correct ``pegasusgaming.com`` entry. Note under the ``Meta keywords`` the following: So let`s go check out ``777betz.com`` using whois. It would appear that Melvin Pereira owns that one, too. So let`s go to 777betz.com and see what they`re all about:

My guess is that if you trace through Chimera`s licenses, you`ll find that an interesting number of the licensees are actually part of the same group, traced in part, back to Chimera.
