This guy is a complete scumbag.
I found out on another forum that he ditched the company that he scammed everybody under and has now started a new company, Viccore Media, which he's a member of Wickedfire under.
So I took a break today and decided to do some digging. I IM'd the new company on AIM - viccoredotcom. A nice front was put on by him. I'll paste some key exceprts of the convo.

11:34:42 AM lazar85: hey, saw you on talk freelance. do you do custom templates?
11:35:52 AM viccoredotcom: Hello Mate. Yes, I do custom work. Right now, I am working on getting a portfolio together of work I have done.
11:36:08 AM lazar85: what are your rates?
11:36:49 AM viccoredotcom: My rates depend on project, and if you are looking for just a design template, or coded in valid xhtml/css, or integrated into a script, ect. I do not have flat rates. I usually do price quotes on per project basis

Nice, so the scammer is still designing.

11:43:42 AM viccoredotcom: OHHHH. you we're working with that cre8tiv-vision guy too? I've had three people IM me from some youngentrepeneur.com website because some guy named "quess" said I was some "Robb" guy. I've been trying to explain this to everyone, and also contacting the quess guy/girl from youngentrepenur.com website, but they won't answer me.

Haha, I don't even know what to say to that.

11:50:45 AM viccoredotcom: the one with the cheerleader resource, I just removed everything and put why in my post. I do not want to be tied to anyone from this bad situation. It's bad enough people contacted me because some idiot said I was him, let alone working for the guy without knowing it. Don't mind my language, but its fucking horrible mate. I can't stand people like this.

Nice...
Alright, so I'll cut to the chase. I emailed him at his new company and tracked the email with ReadNotify.com. I then emailed his old company and tracked that as well. Shit. What do you know, everything matches up!

At this point, I'm laughing my ass off. So I decide to confront him about it.

3:15:29 PM lazar85: i've got a question for you
3:17:12 PM lazar85: i know youre there, you've got an idle message when you arent mate
3:19:10 PM viccoredotcom: Hey mate. I am here, I have my AIM set to never show idle messages so, you aren't fully correct about that. I got finished with dinner about 20 minutes ago and am working on a price quote for you now.

3:20:57 PM viccoredotcom: I don't know mate. are you the quess guy from youngentrepreneur.com? Seems like you have it out for me or something.
3:21:04 PM lazar85: nope
3:21:06 PM lazar85: you know who i am
3:21:12 PM lazar85: and my lawyer knows who you are too
3:21:23 PM lazar85: if you wanna pay me back, i'd suggest you do it soon
3:21:38 PM lazar85: the whole conversation with you lying...thats fraud bud
3:21:54 PM lazar85: and if you say thats not you, cool, your records can be subpoena'd from AIM
3:22:16 PM lazar85: i've already got the IP which you use to log into your myspace account, it matches up with both of these...
3:22:34 PM viccoredotcom: Thats fine, if thats how you want to take it mate. I don't have time for this, or time for someone accusing me of something. Keep the witch hunt up. Have a good day mate

That's probably the best ownage I've ever done in my life. I'm tempted to Digg and Slashdot this story because it's along the lines of the Stolen Sidekick story.
