I hate when I get scammed...
 

I posted an ad on this site looking for a programmer to help me revise my site.
(Let me first say that I'm sorry for those of you I haven't responded back to, I dropped the ball.)

I responded back to a programmer who's proposal fit my budget. I sent a 50% deposit, because in my world that's reasonable. I was getting regular status reports, we were communicating regularly on ICQ and email, and everything looked like it was going swimmingly.

According to my status updates we were ready to upload the new code and move the site over. Then I was asked for the final payment. When I said I'd pay when the work was completed, and the site was working, I got an "OK" a few more lines to make it sound Legit..and then Nothing......

No more emails. No response on ICQ...

And it's not even about the Money...I just hate being Lied to....

so if [email protected] (ICQ#665510034 emails you about working on a project....tell him to email me, because for some reason he's apparently not getting my messages!

Sorry to hear that.

Do you know what the person's nick here on the board is?

Also, I went to look for your ad but could not find it, can you post a link to it?

Thanks in advance

.

gotta be careful around here

hey man U need a web designer?

First rule of Biz?

If someone CAN fuck you over - They prob will... Just a matter of time... :(

Sucks man, hope you get what you paid for.

Not good at all, hope you get it sorted.

Terrible way to have to think, but sadly for many, what will become reality.

Lets fuck a motha fucka up :pimp

I'm going to look through my emails and try to sort out his member name on here

I never gamble more than I can afford to lose.....I just hate feeling like somone got one over on me...

Original thread...but he didn't contact me ON here....Dang it!

Need any more work done? I just need 50 percent up front

Shity Deal

Sorry to hear that, but you must continue your work, this shit can't stop you!

Maybe the guy did not reply, yet, cause it's Easter? LOL Look through your emails, get his IPs from the email headers, find his house, fuck him, too!

There are tooooo many scammers on this board these days. Ask a program you respect and KNOW to refer you to someone. Decent people will refer you. I can think of a few.

Is this the original post ? https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1103785

I think I saw that when it first went up but passed it by because it was a file sharing site.

.

I opted to hire a developer through a site that offers a bit of "Buyer protection" Live and learn I guess.

would you be able to recognize it from your 'last 10 visitors'?

think i see two possibles

That looks like him.

Anyone know of a good web developer? I need a simple WP-based site built

Agreed! So many douche bags around these days. One name comes to mind "Brandon Tartlon" king of the douche pages.

You wont make real money in this business with out trust

This is true in fact he posted here scroll at the top and you'll see his post.

that's fucked !

To prevent this next time you should check his references.

Unbelievable..truly new low. I know some people do exchanges legitimately. But I always suspect people who do that are up to no good.

looool rocketmail, thats the first sign of a scammer. google it.

When I am going to shell out cash to somebody I do some simple things like google their email address and ICQ... If you did that with mine you would see me all over the web. You'd be able to read threads I had made here and elsewhere. You would see that I am legit.

I googled this guys info and it is nowhere to be found. That would have been a big clue to me that he is full of shit.

use Elance.com - even if its a private job, and never EVER pay anything before the programming is 100% done according to plan.

If the programmer cant accept those terms, find someone that will. There are thousands of great programmers out there, so there is no reason to position yourself in such a way, they can end up fucking you over for hard earned money.

Try this guy icq# 676771871, they are doing good job :thumbsup
