Update on phoney SEAL Salhem Dreasden/Dan L McGrew
Since the story first came out there as been a collective effort to find who this guy is. Everyone seems to be pitching on on this on. Also this case of stolen valor is has gotten help from the racing community as well as the military one. I added additional information to the original post so I just talk about the newer info.
We know what his real name is Dan L McGrew. There is a interesting post about him from someone who know him. The more I read, the more it sounds like someone else we know.
You did the same thing to Marvin. Remember Marvin? You burglarized the local Masonic Temple here, and you stashed a bunch of your stolen property in his shed. Were you planning to recreate yourself a high ranking Mason? Perhaps the son of one?
Then there’s the issue of the hot checks you wrote. Two thousand. Ten thousand. Somewhere in between.In any case, my house was harrassed for over a year by people from Steve’s Git-n-Go, Carrow’s, Some bowling place (a hot check for a bowling ball, Dan?!), etc., etc., etc. All this because you used my address to open your bank account with Wells Fargo! Your probation officer finally gave me a stack of his business cards so that I could just start referring people to him (which I did).
Oh and it seems that he is claiming that he has won awards at the HIN Austin.A friend said that he would help out by asking around the to see if anyone has heard of him at any event he attended.
Also he is pretending to have a Afghanistan deployment on a youtube account that was linked back to him.
But the best part is this statement made from the post listed above.
I guess I should probably be indignant, even outraged at your insinuation that I had a hand in destroying your life there.But you know what, Dan (and your name is Dan – not Sahlem), I’m not. I’m only slightly irritated – really more amused than anything. Your current drama seems to be nothing more than one more episode of the same tired sitcom. Your life there was like your life here: a fragile house of cards (ie: lies) you created for yourself. And when it all falls down, Liar Dan the Pathological convinces himself it’s someone else’s fault (again). Take some responsibility, Dan.
But given your history, I don’t understand your upset. Hasn’t it always been easy for you to simply move on and create yourself a whole new backstory to con people with? It’s like a game to you. You kinda remind me of the character Leonardo DiCaprio played in that movie “Catch Me If You Can”.
Wow, I swear that sounds like someone we know, but who?
Oh and as a special treat I am offering a two for one phoney deal today. Saw this on the news last night.
After fleeing the Navy in 2006, 26-year-old Royce Allen Eagle lived in Alaska under a false identity until last year when authorities tracked down his fingerprints

Could have used a gay warning on this one. After I read about him sleeping with a chick, and then finding the chicks name was “Amos” I lost all interest.
The hits just keep on a coming…..
i fucking know this guy.
i met him last week. what the fuck should i do? i knew something was weird about him.
Did he tell you he was a SEAL?
yes. he told me alot of stuff
i confronted him… he is getting very defensive
Would you be willing to tell this to the people over at POW.net? Any new info on the guy would help.
yes what do i need to do
Anastasia:
What part of the country is he in? State? City? Bar?
is there another way to talk to you guys?
Hi you can tell me or the people over at POW.net this is there email
Look for the red blocked section titled “Contact Us”. I do not want to post their email to avoid them from getting too much spam.
im trying to email but it says my mailer client isnt supported
Anastasia:
Hit my “username” and it will take you to a contact button, (Blue, right side of page), e-mail me and I will give you their address.
You can also post the asshole’s name, claims, and incidentals here so that the world knows exactly who this shitbag is.
Hey, there’s a thought.
Anastasia, where did you meet him? What name did he use? Salhem or Dan?
Anastasia he has recently told me a whole bunch of lies too. Be careful. He will have you believing his lies. We should compare stores and see if we can stop these antics of his. He’s hurting innocent woman who believe he is a nice guy.

#’s 17,18:
Go through Jonn, to keep your addresses out of the public. He will help y’all get together. This should be good. I am really curious about what town, bar, whatever.
Ok….how do we get in touch with Jonn is he with POW.net? Or is he the webmaster for this blog?
Click the “Contact” link at the top of the page.
seek the truth…. how do i know your not salhem… Dan… he is on these forums like a fly on shit. he already called me out on posting on here…
anastasia, I have an email for you, but there’s something wrong with the email address you use to sign in.
I dated him not too long ago. His stories started to get questionable and looked into him, Anastasia I can assure you that most of what he has told you are lies. Don’t loan him money because he will either write a bad check or make up excuses and you will never see that money again. I would get out now. He is a sweet talker and knows just what to say to make you believe him. Also, don’t think that you’re the only girl he’s talking to.. He wasn’t faithful when we were dating..
I can confirm what HonestyPlease is saying. I am pretty sure he was cheating on me when I dated him too. I also talked to another girl who he was dating who told me she caught him cheating on her and that she had heard about a girlfriend who loaned him thousands of dollars and never got paid back. He is a master scam artist. Now any girl who googles his name will see these posts and be warned.
seek the truth. i tried emailing you back. says your email doesnt exist. salhem never asked me for money.. but he always did spend alot of it on me.
says he was getting paid by the goverment, i know he is a lier. i stopped talking to him.
it was nice… lol while it lasted. like 3 dates. intell i tried to find his facebook, and BAM came across all this shit…
He does lie. He does cheat. And he does pretend to be other people.
Yea at first he spent a lot on me too, and he was getting “paid” by the government as well. Glad you got out of it now anastasia, before it ended badly like it has for many other girls
Navy week is in Los Angeles is July 25th -31st. Since he has been identified as an imposter it is doubtful he will have the balls to be out there faking to be a SEAL again. I think he has learned his lesson about that. However, there is proof he is still out there lying to and taking advantage of women.
what do you mean? got worst for other women?
is he dangerous?
No, he’s not dangerous in the sense of hurting people. But I know of other girls that he has taken thousands of dollars from and not paid back, he’s cheated on girls, and just messed up their hearts and lives. I’m sure he won’t be claiming to be a SEAL anywhere near LA but I have heard that he goes to different states… so I’m sure he’s playing his tricks elsewhere.
im sure dan doesnt mean harm. when someone becomes so accustomed to living that kind of life…. its like they do it without even realizing that they are hurting other people.
hey Anastasia I am not sure if you still come on here but Dan messed up my life three years ago. He has been doing this for a long time…there are some things you girls may want to know if you could email me.
I was actually him at the time of the fake nVy seal episode that was om the news. and 4monrths prior to that. When he got caught he wouldmt leave me alone actually became quite the staLker. I couldnt believe it I was in shock & ggetting pretty scared I alwYs knew somehing was off about him but figured he felt the need he had to lie to kick it.i know where he lives amd have even talkwd to his family before, he is a sociopath and ladies please b warned and stay away from him! He does not work at a hospital,he does not own a car theyare all rentals he lives in a disgusting house that should b condemed and he does not own the internet cafe hes just there24/7 and his music sucks!
Woops meant dating him lol
Bambi & Anonymous……I know two other girls he was dating at the time of the Seal incident. One of the rental cars he drove was probably a Silver Dodge Ram truck which belongs to one of them. He lied to me and told me it was his. Please email info@pownetwork.org and give your email addresses. Perhaps if we all work together we can get enough information out about him so he cannot victimize any more women. It is also true that not only does he pretend to be a Navy SEAL but also a Dr. or a Nurse who works at a hospital.
Ive driven the silver dodge a few times…. I will deff email u
Bambi……go ahead and email me at relaxandhavefun@privacyharbor.com
Bambi & Anonymous…….still waiting to hear from you.

Look what he is up to now: http://twitter.com/#!/Salem_D_XXX
I was datIng him for a while earlier in fall. Last i saw him he’s driving a black range rover and lives in the studio city area. He took me on two really nice vacations and always paid for everything but I found this when I tried to Facebook him and
I didn’t want anything to do with him.
Now he’s dating another girl and she knows all this (i tried to email her and warn her) but she doesn’t care cause he’s not using her.
omg i was trying to follow him on twittsr and i found all this.
he lives in vegas now. we are friends for a while and hung out at his apartment at mgm. he was nice but lots of bullshit. he didn’t talk about this navy stuff. crazy. we talk all the time he seems so nice and buys me so many nIce things and helps woth my bills. i dont know what to do.
I know his newest girl. She’s a porn star and they live in Sherman Oaks. Seek the Truth: I want to help you. How can I hit you up?
Michelle…..my email address is posted in post 37 would love your help!!!!
I know someone who is with this guy and I want to protect her???? What do I do? Ahh! He seems to be very charming and has her wrapped around his finger!
You know what they say you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. Just be there for her. She will eventually come to her senses and see what a looser he is. He is a good talker and very charming. Poor girl has to pimp herself out to support the two of them see here: http://losangeles.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/cute-and-fun-love-to-play-outcall-19/18870974
Hello, I met this guy that I think you are taking about. I met him a little less than a month ago and things seemed fine until I googled his name and found all of this. There are allot of things that dont make sense. Number 1, if he is an military imposter, the cars he drives make no sense. Both cars I have seen him drive have Gov plates on them. Number 2, He has never asked me for any money and has paid for everything and it has never been bad. The only thing I can say is that he seems off, in that I’m hiding something sort of way. I wrote it off as he had just moved here, but maybe you guys are right.
I need help with this situation please, I dont know what to do.
His girlfriend works at rouge in van nuys
Becareful he is a rapist
I must say all u stupid hoes got what u deserved, because chances are you thought he had money and went for it…hahaha lol !
