After much searching and tracking, I found John Khem and a new e-mail address. After getting in contact with him, I was told that he was NOT the 'tobeyc' that obtained my services on getafreelancer. He explained that he indeed purchased what he thought was full rights to the sales letter from 'tobeyc' for $210.
However, after receiving proof from me that I was the one who wrote and owned full rights to the letter, he graciously agreed to pay $100 for full rights of the sales letter. Therefore, it now belongs to him. However, 'tobeyc' remains a thief and not only did he not pay for the sales letter to begin with, but he sold it for profit.
Therefore, I will continue to search for him and will continue to warn writers NOT to work with tobeyc on www.getafreelancer.com. Of course, updates will be posted.

John Khem's Facebook PPC Secrets - Stolen Material
So it's been a long time since I've posted here - I've been really busy starting a new company with 3 partners...however, I wanted to give a warning to the writers out there. Right now, a client is selling an ebook called 'Facebook PPC Secrets' using a sales letter that I wrote which is NOT paid for. You can see the STOLEN SALES LETTER here. This man hired me through get a freelancer and promised to pay $250 for the sales letter.
He e-mailed me from tdkc66@gmail.com under the name of ralph will. His user name on get a freelancer is tobeyc. Communication was fine until I sent the finished ebook and then I never heard another thing from him. When I sent the PayPal invoice, his name showed up as Tobey Khen. On his site, he is John Khem and is using my sales letter to sell copies of his ebook (I have a copy as well so e-mail me!) This is a complete and total outrage.
As freelance writers, you guys know how hard we work to please our clients. For them not to pay and then continue to use our work - it's downright wrong, it's immoral and it's unethical. John Khem or whatever his name is promised that he was a businessman who was honest and that he had future work for me. However, it was all a con from an immature thief, in my opinion. Do not work with this man and don't trust him at all. I believe he is from Bangalore India but can't be sure about that either.
Facebook PPC Secrets is an ebook describing how to use pay per click ads on your facebook profile to make money. Obviously John Khem had no problems with the sales letter that would cause him not to pay because he is now USING the stolen sales letter. Copywriters lookout - the gross behavior of this man is unacceptable and disgusting.
