Hi everyone,

My name is Joel & I need new programmers because my previous programmer cheated me for more than USD 500,000. He cheated me so badly that my only recourse was to file a lawsuit (see attached) against him. As you can see, I am a trusting and generous client. My goal is to make the world better. But I am not a developer.

Unfortunately, I was taken advantage of by Ian Agustiawan (now at hipe.id or formerly known as proofn.id ) I found Ian on the site about.me. Ian said that he could build my email software. Later Ian said he needed to recruit a team to build it. In the end, I paid Ian more than USD 500,000 and paid for 11 MacBook Pros for his team to program the software. I even gave Ian a personal no interest USD 30,000 loan to pay off his mortgage. He told me couldn't focus on programming the software due to his mortgage. I sent Ian the money he said he and his team needed to finish programming the software. I had to sell my car and home in the process.

After visiting Indonesia to get an update on the software, I began to see Ian’s true colours. Ian said he’d use the software he developed for me to raise money for his own company. He then demanded I give him a substantial amount for a minority stake in his company. Otherwise, he'd cut me out of his company, leaving me with nothing.

Afterwards I learned from an experienced software expert (a friend who works at Sandisk) that my software could be developed at a fraction of the money and time then what paid to Ian Augustiawan. To make matter worse, the actual software was badly coded, full of serious defects and completely unusable. That is why I am looking for programmers. Please send me a private message if you’re interested.

Hopefully I can form a new team and continue the startup here in Indonesia. Don't hesitate to contact me for further info.

You can reply to this post in Bahasa since I have a team from SG and MY that can translate Bahasa to me.

Sincerely,

Joel
