His new MD name after "Kwaiden" was banned -- "Kazed"
Many of you are going to /point /laugh at me when you read this one, but I guess I was foolish and what's happened has happened and can't be changed. He caught me at a very good time in my life to benefit his fraud -- I've been juggling many various things which have kept my brain in overclock -- so due to my inability of carefully think of the whole situation and stress.. You'll see how I let this one pass.
My sole purpose of this post is for those who have experience with a situation like this to contact me -- Rewards will be given -- I don't expect the $3000 USD to come back to me, as I know chances won't but I just want to put the person in his place.
For those who may be concerned, I do have his creditcard information, bank information, address (most likely fake), passport # & ID .. if that is of any use!
Copy and pasted below is the report I have written up --

Please take this seriously, It may sound unworthy of the time based on the language barrier and inability to fully understand the situation, but please take time to look over the situation and understand.
I put up on ad on a forum to look for a web developer for a project of a corporate e-commerce site, although I was approached by many, Claus seemed to be the most experienced and most qualified for the job.
The issue was I'm in Canada -- and he is from Denmark, he ensured me everything would be fine by sending me copies of his ID, bank information and so on (attached below)
Everything was fine over 3-4 weeks -- he would update me with how the work was coming along, keep in consistent contact with me --
The first payment of 25% was sent to him to have him start working on the job on Nov. 6 2009, we agreed to pay 25% weekly until completion of the job which was suppose to be finished within 4 weeks.
Due to me having to leave the country for a week -- and his illness, it was extended.
I paid him the second payment of 25% on Nov 15 2009 --- The third and last payment before I discovered of his fraud was on Dec. 3 2009.
Originally I was promised a preview of the work within 2 weeks --- I only received a couple text folders of "code" -- at the time I did not understand how to "read' / comprehend code, but later I found out the code he sent me was off of my original website -- www.atomlabaccounts.com (My current website -- He was to design me a more custom / professional corporate ecommerce website)
After receiving the code in a .rar file -- I gave him the benefit of the doubt and trusted based on his consistent communication/follow up/updates, he was doing a good job and was getting the website done.
Upon speaking with him over the phone on December 2 2009, he told me if I had not send a payment of $970 (His receiving limit until January 2010 on PayPal), all the work he has currently done will be sold to a competitor who would need a similar website designed.
I demanded to see the preview of the design before sending the payment -- He told me at the time he was having issues with the design and would need a friend to come help him take a look at it which would be finished by this weekend (December 4-5-6).
Again I gave him the benefit of the doubt and trusted him so I sent the payment to him. After sending the payment I decided to go a little google search on his history, upon searching his e-mail I found numerous fraud accusations and convictions of him in earlier days where he had frauded local danish citizens from payments of iPhones / Computers. He would list an iPhone for sale and demand payment upfront and not send the actual phone out -- Ive attached the links in the formal police report.
I also found numerous other reports of users on the forum he had contacted me with who was having issues with him.
As I brought this up with him -- he told me it wasn't a good time to speak as he was having dinner with his girlfriend at the time (Roughly 6-8 pm local denmark time today Dec. 4) -- after trying to call him back numerous times he had told me he was "BLOODY Hell, Leave me alone i'm trying to have dinner with the girlfriend here, give me some peace" although I was merely looking for a quick explanation .. I had no luck in reaching him after that in which he promised to call me back within the hour -- now his phone is off.
</div></div>
If any doubts are given of the situation, I have many e-mails, aim conversation logs, paypal transaction ids.. so on although I'm sure it's not hard to read between the lines on this one.
PayPal sucks, I knew they didn't cover virtual goods, I just didn't think at the time web devloping / coding would fall under that category !
