The calling card of a suspected scammer
![EASTWIND[1].jpg](http://www.insidesocal.com/sgvcrime/EASTWIND%5B1%5D.jpg)
Here's the top of a story I just filed for tomorrow's newspaper:
The District Attorney's Office added 29 more charges Wednesday to its case against a Covina man accused of using Craigslist and eBay to scam renters and potential investors.
Prosecutors accuse Pardeep Singh, 30, of defrauding 22 potential renters of $2,400 each. Wednesday's filing follows a seven-count criminal complaint brought against Singh last week. He remains at large.
Two of the counts in the amended complaint involve the suspected theft of $185,000 from Kenneth Yandoli, a Glendale man.
"I hope something comes of it," said Jennifer Yandoli, who along with her husband loaned Singh $100,000 in September in exchange for a trust deed on Singh's Covina home at 5441 N. Calera Ave., according to public records.

How common a name is Pardeep Singh?
I used to work with a guy at Bank of America (when I temped there) - by that name.
Pardeep Singh roughly translates to John Smith.
I ran the name Pardeep Singh through my third generation translator and it translates to Sneaky Crook.
