Here's a challenge..

Here's a challenge..
...for anyone who fancies themselves as a bit of a cyber sleuth.

For the past few years or so I've been trying to track down someone called Phil Wilkinson who owned a company called 5D Licenseware which was an Amiga PD library.

I wrote a piece of software called ABC Directory Magic for the PC and it was this guys job to take the credit card orders. He would keep 20% and I would get the rest.

However, he took a lot more than 20%, in fact, he kept most of it for himself saying that he had bills to pay.

This thief owes me a good £400 but I am unable to track him down as he seems to have vanished. Dodgy

Sounds fun Smile

Need more details, like the town he was in, if you know any wife/partners names, children's names, previous phone numbers, addresses, email address etc...

The more info the better
This guy brought the company from him in 1999:

Apart from the fact that he lived in South Yorkshire that's it I'm afraid.

RE: Here's a challenge..
Are you sure there is nothing else you know about him?

Also, is South Yorkshire an actual city or part of a larger Yorkshire?

RE: Here's a challenge..
There is an internet entrepreneur by that name, Here are a couple of his sites. http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2005/...n-is-back/
http://blog.crowdstorm.co.uk/
There are also a couple artists, but I doubt they are him, and there is a banker who died in 2007 so I doubt its him either. There are probably many more that are just nobodys, so I doubt you will find him.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
