early last year, Javed Rizvi, a fraudster and master of many disguises, conned Shakeel Kazmi, into parting with Rs 4 lakh after Rizvi convinced him that he would use his contacts to land him a well-paying job in Australia.
"When I insisted that he return my money, he smoothly handed me some post-dated-cheques and disappeared without a trace."
In Nashik, Rizvi promised double the interest banks were offering on deposits, and disappeared after collecting substantial amounts.
