    Same exact thing happened to another member. Please reveal the problem poster here so we can see if it is the same guy.

    theives, liars, and scammers suck.

    Sorry to hear about it. It is always the lost/wasted time and energy that is the worst part. The $200 sucks, but wasting time with idiots is its own penalty, and makes it so much more frustrating.

    Hmm... have you already reported your case to the mods? Was there a thread that shows that you really did transact?

    I wonder if krakjoe is a newer account? The last report of the same type was about 6 months ago. The guy did the same trick of saying reverse the paypal report or else and he did that and got ripped.

    Word of advise to all buyers, if the person is not holding up his end of the bargain, do report them to paypal if used and just say to the scammer - "do what you promised and I will" it can act as escrow for you.

    It's me he's slagging off in his "I got scammed again" thread heres what actually happened, I have done hundreds of dollars worth of work for him, and all of it was of the highest quality, hes even said so himself, he asked me to rewrite his poorly written and unsafe script so he could use it again and again for different things, actually I suggested that it needed rewritten and after some time he agreed, I said from the beginning I would go as quickly as possible, we also came to an agreement on price and we stuck to it; the masses of code I had to write was taking longer than I expected it too and I had to keep doing other work because the hours I was spending on it weren't earning as much as they could, which was fine by me, but not Joe ( sundaybrew ).

    I had the same email everyday, he was panicing and emailing stuff like "dude get in touch" "dude speak to me man" I was gettin these messages when I was ASLEEP, and so when I woke up one morning I asked him to stop spamming my inbox with these useless emails, and they are useless, every single day I spoke to him, every single day he could see for himself his script was progressing, he took that too offence and started filing paypal disputes even though I had been doing and was happy to continue the work.

    Paypal disputes I dont do, as a seller of non tangible goods through paypal, I'm not protected by any of thier seller protection policy, so the moment he did that is the moment I stopped working for him.

    As for him recieving half a script, of course he did, he paid for half a job, and waited untill half way through, and got half a script, it's obvious.
