Sleazy, you're here all the time, are you telling me you've missed the over dozen threads started the last three months that had people coming forward claiming they had not received the services they paid for from Turboface? I've also talked to many of his unsatisfied customers who don't even post on this board. Sure the amounts are small on some and not so on others, it all adds up.

I don't think he intentionally tried defrauding them, but he obviously has a cash flow problem and paying his own bills seems its taken priority over fulfilling his customers orders in the last six months. Its taken only a short time to ruin any reputation he had built up over the last couple of years. He continues to take new orders even though he has outstanding orders over 6 months that aren't even 10% fulfilled.

It would be like ordering a project from a web designer and giving him a three week deadline only to find out he had only made one graphic after three weeks because he had multiple excuses for the delay. He won't refund you, and continues to work at a snails pace with more excuses to the point where eventually his work becomes worthless to you and you have to write off your payment to him as a loss. Technically the designer would say he never scammed you because he was continuing to work on the order, even though his services are now worthless to you. When you order 100k in traffic you obviously have a specific purpose and campaign, when only a 100 hits a week come in your marketing plan for the traffic essentially becomes worthless.
people extend deadlines with me all the time, esp content producers. it's the adult biz and models flake out so i'm used to it and understand - traffic brokers have similar pressures. I don't pay for any more till they fulfill their contract. And I don't rely on just one person EVER for anything. I always have about 5-10 backup plans. it's just called smart business
