First off, have you tried the Division of Licensing?
http://www.dos.ny.gov/licensing/privateinvest/privatei.html
I hear they take complaints. Unresolved complaints means no license. I am not sure if PIs are bonded in the state of NY, but that puts a little pressure on them to make it right.

Second, we are putting together a book on the mechanics of fraud and scams. If you could share your story, we might be able to work it in to the book. We are doing a 50/50 split of the profits with contributors. So, maybe we can work together. You can submit information securely on http://www.scambutton.com.
