Who the h*** is Naveen C Joshi anyway?

Well, during the time when we were still hopefull to get something in return for our money petermor (or whatever his real name) created us an account at asmlabs.com There we were able to locate contact information that allowed us to locate the following information about the crook:

ICQ Profile of Naveen C Joshi

Send the thief an ICQ (# 101251425)

Later, when we realized that Elance does not have a process in place to protect us we've attempted to email all accounts we were able to associate with this guy:

Yes, we hired a development team via Elance to work on our web
development project. We paid 30% to start on the project. For a month
we
were promissed a link where we could see progress and then suddenly
communications stopped.

Are you familiar with one of the following:

Peter M Keniston
Naveen C Joshi
naveenpchandra@hotmail.com
www.asmlabs.com/pm/index.php

Please let us know how are you
connected to either one of the above.

This email is given as a contact on http://www.asmlabs.com/pm/index.php

How are you affiliated with this site?

The trail stopped there... By the way naveenpchandra@hotmail.com poped up on a couple other bulletin boards in very similar business solicitations like the one we fell into with the help of Elance. Also we got that email address from asmlabs.com contact page. It was the only one listed there.

We'll be posting facts about this individual as we uncover them.

Note for Naveen: Don't bother to delete or change your information on the sites mentioned here. All these sites were copied ;)

At some point the thief worked at a bank! Is it where he developed an taste of other people's money?

Ah-ha, he might be in the US...(see top line) Perhaps it is a good idea to report him to the local authorities, just to get his name into the system.
