You pay someone and nothing gets done, when to post?
 

Lets say you pay someone to do some things for your company.
You make agreements, and nothing gets done.
They were paid half upfront, to be paid the other half upon completion.

You send emails, icq messages and even tried to call on the provided phone numbers.
They don't answer any of your attempts to just get the work promised done.

The worst part about it is , this is all stuff I could have easily done myself and not very complicated or even that tedious. (but who cares if it is, you were paid and agreed upon the work that was to be done)

NOTHING has been done.

So, GFY'ers when is it appropriate to call this person out on the boards and let people know that you have been ripped off so that they don't do it to others?

Right about the time they stopped communicating with you.

Thats pretty heavy from the good will ambassador :)
I just really wanted to get the stuff done,
not start drama..
Maybe I have no choice?
this sucks:disgust

Good will doesn't include getting fucked over.

If they are not responding now, they will not respond later.

You paid them and now they are disrespecting you. They may have a very good reason for not completing the project but there is never a good reason for ignoring somebody that you owe money or product to. :2 cents:

damn spill it here

First threaten to post it on the boards. If nothing happens within a week or maybe two, post it.

As Aaron said,
If they stop communicating you go to the next level.
Im about to do the same with a content producer that is not delivering and have now stopped getting back to me.

let's hear it im listening

I agree. Thats what this post is I guess. I really would have just liked to have had th work done. Who knows, shit happens.. Im not an unreasonable person.
The person will know, when they read this who they are.
I would like to just resolve the issue without any names
:thumbsup

A week of leeway is about all I give with no communication, then come the threats of going public, then 2-3 days after that I'm throwing a forum shitfit...

Doesn't anyone follow through anymore?

:1orglaugh

next time hire someone who has a public presence, good reputation for delivering on time, and doesnt run off.

hit me up next time!

Good idea. Mask their identity from the community so others may have the chance to get fucked over too. :thumbsup

:thumbsup:pimp

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I've not had any problems with other great people I've worked with from GFY. And yeah, I'll agree that just choosing someone that has a public presence is a better way to go
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh <laughs at self.
:mad: GFY

the identity will not remain unknown after a day here, if i dont hear something.:warning

A week or two?! :1orglaugh :uhoh

If someone doesn't get back to me within 5 minutes I go on a frantic rampage :mad:

And I RARELY ever pay upfront unless it's through a system that I have an amazing track record with like scriptlance or paypal :thumbsup

Yeah, a week or two is not gonna happen at this point . Tomorrow the name if I hear nothing:disgust

i have this problem all the time when i buy stuff from people like scripts or so. until the purchase they respond within seconds. but when there are problems after the install it takes days to get a reply. right now i am doing this with 2 "companies" and it's not good for my blood pressure

It is thanksgiving today... many people spend time with family and likely not do porn.

Mine as well just spill the beans now and apologize later... you will likely just get dragged through the mud for a couple more weeks and that much more frustrated later if you don't drop the hammer now!

The internet does not have holidays!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Do my work and do it nAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA000000000ooOOOOOO()(0()0()WWwwwwW WW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
