Admins feel free to relocate this post to the right place im not really sure where else it will fit A month ago I hire a desinger for my website, regrettably I have to pay a deposit of 50% ($125) to start working on my desing, until the things are going well. It sends 2 models and I do not find a desing i like. So I go on photoshop and I make myself a desing. We make a deal he agreed on a price of $ 125 (the original amount) to cut me the desing no additional fees. So I send him my desing. And nothing, I send mail, msn, AIM. I made a HOLD on paypal payment .. Oops he send me a MSN and says the message that you can read on the picture attached to this post. Well I shall disburse the funds and after the finish, nothing not even a little news msn aim and nothing for a month. No refund. This guy was stealing my money, he made me promise. Me as a DUMB i accept. BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER : MIKE SMITH msn: AIM: freefallcreative WEBSITE blogthememachine.com freefallcreative.com
thanks for the warning! it's always sad to hear when somebody gets scammed, it's pretty low to do that. I will def be more careful in the future when dealing with clients. I saw an article somewhere that suggested having the client and the designer decide upon a designer brief outlining the deliverables and the work to be done and the money. I assume you did something like this, and I know it's not perfect, but I will def think more about ways of safeguarding both parties next time I do something. Well, hope this helps, innovati!

The word you're looking for is "design," I believe. Sorry to hear about this. You shouldn't have unheld the payment.
