the initial payment is 4 figures. We're not talking about a $200 job here.

yup, happened to me before and I lost $400 from someone I met on a website. And the site owner was a jerk and told me he had no sympathy for me, and that I should have known and done "due diligence".
Never again, im so suspicious now on bigger jobs. Id rather lose out on a possible good job than lose a lot of money and get ripped off in case.
