Wow, my first drama thread.. Love it!
Here's my side of the story.
Seosoft let me check out the software on his server. Some features were disabled, but I could get a feel of how it worked.
I was interessted in buying, so he sent me the scripts. A single, encoded, file was left out, so I couldn't use the scripts. I would receive the last file after payment.
I checked out the scripts and noticed security was flawed, so I was able to run the scripts without the encoded 'key-file'. Now I was able to testdrive the scripts for real and noticed they weren't worth the $450 he was asking. Not even anywhere near that amount. They were full of bugs, proxy import didn't work and I was only about to spam (ehh.. submit) to the first 10 records of a database. SEOsoft promissed to fix it, but didn't hear anything for weeks.
I was fed up with it, deleted the scripts (if you don't believe that,
) and decided not to buy the thing. It would have been nice if I also told that to SEOsoft, which I didn't.. My bad, excuse me!
SEOsoft popped up in my ICQ saying I should pay him. I told him I deleted the scripts, don't use them and never will. He started threatening to kill my sites if I didn't pay him within 48 hours. Explained all the above, also told him I didn't have the money available at that time. But he didn't care. I should pay him, or else ... (add russian accent).
Now move on, improve those scripts and I'll might reconsider buying them... And if you make sure ALL your source code is zend encoded next time, this won't happen again.
