Been scammed out of 300 bucks by Quietwebmaster who is active here
 

Just a warning to stay away from this scammer as he posts here and accepts money for jobs which he can't finish.

I hired him to do the most simple job ever. He failed. He only managed to do 1/3rd or so after letting me wait for ages. He agreed to pay me back half (i was still being nice to him, stupid me) but now simply ignores me.

It's only a few 100 dollars but scammers should be exposed.

That sucks.

What kind of job? And why did you pay upfront??

See this thread:https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1044911

Just some grunt work. I didn't want to pay upfront but after he did 1/3 or so there was no reason for me to believe he wouldn't do the rest so i paid him. I just wanted to be nice.
Well, lesson learned. Last time i'm being nice. The next person simply gets paid when he delivers the work. Like it should be.

Frank is one of the nicest fuckers I ever met!

Frank is one of the nicest fuckers I never met.

That fuckin sux!

Yeah, no big deal.
Just making sure people read his name so they won't make the mistake of working with him.

Bahaaaaaaaahahaha.
I had to put you off ignore for it but boy did this make my day haaaahaa :)

LoLs! Guess the screengrab thing went awry...

Normally Grunt work dosnt intrigue my tastes but you sir are a long time bro.

Drop me a line. I or my little person(thats what I call him) can handle this shiiiiiit!

Franck, if you ever need some grunt work drop me a line. I have employees that can do this and paid on the ass end is fine as long as it's not a 6 month job or something. :1orglaugh

That sucks, sorry to hear about that...wish I had known you needed that stuff done, I'm always willing to help out a fellow GFYer.

isn't that one of the names of a classic gfy scammer?

Agreed! He brings roses and uses a lot of lube so it doesn't hurt a lot :1orglaugh

Never heard of the guy.

Aw look. The nutjob is upset that i called him a fucking idiot :1orglaugh

You'd have to try a lot harder to upset me, in fact this is very useful what's happened here as it proves you're not good at knowing who to trust; you are easily lied to and scammed. Learn that and remember it! Others would have seen that coming a mile off, others are skilled at seeing through lies. Learn that! :thumbsup

You won't like me pointing this out in public, but if you keep in mind what I've just said I'll have done you a big favor! I'm actually helping you but you don't know it :2 cents:

LOL... No wonder you got fucked over... $300 for doing 1400 screengrabs??? Like others said in that thread, it's far more than just 20-25 hours of work, especially given you said they had to be "sharp" and cropped to specific dimensions... The idiot that took the job was a moron for even taking on the job but I suspect you actually paid for that was actually done in a "real world" and not some fantasy land.

No it's not, stop lying. I did a few 100 myself so i think i know what i'm talking about.
And besides that in total it was actually closer to 800/900 grabs.
This can be done in about 10 to 15 hours. That's 20 dollar a hour or more for the most easy work ever.

That more than most people here make. Please stop fucking crying about the price.

And what the fuck has the price to do with being fucked over?
You think if i paid someone 1000 dollars it's impossible to get fucked over?

I see you are very upset. Amazing what calling someone an idiot can do to people :1orglaugh

Not at all, but I do now see it as my duty to enlighten you of your own limitations. Your overconfidence leaves you as a danger to yourself.

Depending on ones speed it could be a little low but he offered the price.

For the record, I can offer grunt work at the following prices. All outsourced labor of course.

20 Hours Per Week - $80 per week or $280 per month prepaid.
40 Hours Per Week - $150 per week or $480 per month prepaid.

Additional Employees

20 Hours Per Week - $60 per week or $250 per month prepaid.
40 Hours Per Week - $100 per week or $350 per month prepaid.

All you need to do is send clear instructions of what you want done. I'll pass it off to one of our managers that will find an employee and make sure they are doing it right.

Open to anyone but can only scale so fast.

One time jobs like Franck's, $250 or a little less would have been the bid just in case he was a pain in the ass. (I know Franck is not, just in general.)

:1orglaugh

If i call you an idiot again are you gonna be even more upset?

It's only people with low or average IQ's who will throw about such insults or be upset when someone says it to them.

The only idiot here is you frankie boyyy.
I hate to say i told you so, or wait i dont hate that at all haha.

Thats what you get for being the fucking cheap ass loser you are bahaha.

He was a sitting duck and someone was going to pull his pants down sooner or later, though I wouldn't be surprised if he gets scammed regularly :2 cents:

Wehateporn, you seem very upset :1orglaugh
You are trying real hard to get back at me because i called you a total fucking idiot. But you fail. And there is nothing you can do about it. And that really pisses you off :1orglaugh

There are some relentless haters around here lately and I've seen it getting like this on other forums etc I post at. Is everyone in a bad mood because of the economy or is this the new generation getting online and just being pissed about everything?

Serious question, last year has been extremely bad. :error

Tell me what tools you used and your process for doing the thumbs then so I can check it out for myself...

I didn't say the guy should have ripped you off.. My point is that several people were quoting a hell of a lot higher numbers and then you have someone come in with a really low number in comparison... and you pick him... That should have set off some warning bells right there for you unless he was from some third world country where $1/day is living high off the hog or something.. lol

Jesus, those people were asking for 2 dollars per grab. That's 100 dollars a hour or more! Talking about ripping someone off. Are you really so fucking clueless about this work and what's it worth?
And no, i'm not giving you any tools. I have nothing to prove to you.
I did a few 100 so i know how long it takes. Period.
And i know that 20 dollars per hour is more than most people make here.
So again stop fucking crying about the price because you are clueless.

uh huh... Just knew you wouldn't back up how long it took you to do the screen grabs...

Yep... $2/grab was way too much as well... $300 was too low... To some of us, it's just not a surprise that you got ripped off...

I'm sure the guy was from overseas. I could easily get that job done at the same price as posted above and if it was less than a weeks worth of work he could pay as things were delivered. Not really that unusual, I have 7 or 8 employees that I use myself for things like this.

Yeah man, i'm really just lying. I'm making up stories. That what i always does. Just ask anyone

You fucking moron.


So 20 dollars per hour for a few hours of grunt work is too low? Really?

And again, Einstein, if i paid let say a 1000 that would be a guarantee i wouldn't get ripped off? Please explain yourself.

I'm going to be your guide on GFY for a while, you'll learn a lot about yourself with my mighty mind advising you. One day you might even be grateful for my words of wisdom

Even if you don't publicly accept what I'm telling you, I know that deep down you'll be thinking about this, about what I'm highlighting here.

He's certainly much less boisterous and opinionated IRL, anyway.

The guys had previously said he was from the US.

As I said, you can get the real cheap labour... But the entire 1400 vids and taking 30 seconds to do each with sharpening and cropping the caps was just totally unrealistic IMO and that entire thread screamed "I'm going to get fucked over" when I read it...

Nice that you can't be mature and have to resort to the name calling.. Have a nice day...

Jesus man! There were no 1400 vids! Are you fucking blind, ignorant or just plain fucking retarded?
And it actually takes less than 30 secs per vid.
Fucking moron.

Just keep on repeating your bullshit....

Well, that's an easy way of not having to answer me.

You fucking loser.

I bet tempest pays his gruntworkers 50 dollars per hour. Because 20 per hour is just asking to be fucked over according to his logic.

franck watch out or wehateporn is going to get out his olympian pen!!

I'm just talking out of my ass because I didn't see the original thread, but that sort of task sounds like a few hours work rather than 20-24+.

did you pay 300 or 270?

Not at all... You're not going to change your point of view even though you got ripped off.. And you're not worth my time with your attitude.. So the discussion will go no where.. you continue to resort to the name calling and tough guy act.. and so it serves no purpose now other than to boost post count and page views. That's the reality.

300. I paid him 30 extra because i wanted to be nice and after the first part was done i thought he was doing a good job. And then he started fucking up for whatever reason.

also, WTF have you been the past 6.5 years?

Why don't you just answer my question? Is it that hard to answer?

Tempest, i have 3 questions for you. I'm gonna be all nice and polite so you can answer me.

1: Is 20 dollars per hour just screaming "screw me over"?
2: How much do you pay per hour to gruntworkers.
3: If i paid 1000 dollars would be there ANY less chance of getting ripped off?

Sir, please answer this. I would appreciate it.
