    There are 2 sides to this game... i have payed upfront for content on many occasions and never got the articles... I feel bad you have been scammed, but if you know the website he has posted the articles on, than don't stress we can find out who he is.. contact him one last time and if no response take it further, but when you contact him inform him you re taking legal action against him.. he should then cough up the mone, Good luck, keep us updated on this one.

    What if the person cheats even after paying 50% upfront? In this case, what is the solution?

    "It feels to be good and help you take a stand for ever."

    If you want to write content for English speaking readers, you had better learn to speak proper English yourself.

    I wouldn't have paid you for this poor work either.... but I wouldn't have posted it either. This guy must have been desperate for text content to use that.

    The problem with paying 50% upfront (which i had before!), you risk not getting what you paid for!

    That's why a good portfolio is very important, once you have established a good one, it is much easier to deal with.

    Thanks for the information man. It's pretty helpful. To the OP, why can't you file a case against him? Contact cyber crime.

    Loosing $90 is not acceptable, please approach UN /FBI to issue a red corner notice for the DP user who scammed you.

    Honestly, you've probably lost more money by posting this thread. Now everyone knows that you write broken English.

    Asshats from DP owe me a collective 3,000 dollars. You should consider yourself fortunate. I wish I was owed 90 dollars.

    I don't think so. Read my iTraders and I didn't ask you to criticize me, so if you can't help me, then why not look into other forum categories and increase your posts?

    Getting paid per article would've benefited you more I think. Should've sent him 1 article at a time and gotten paid for each instead of sending him everything in one lot.

    I have e-mailed the site and asked them to remove the posts. I hope that can help you. I came from "anonymous@spam.la" if anyone wants to check that account.. You can just type anonymous in at spam.la to find out what this person will sent back...

    Good Luck Again!

    "Thank you for contacting us. We will respond back to you soon. "
    Is what they tell me!

    Thanks for the post! This warning is important to me as I would have not known otherwise to send this tommy guy off walking in the event he asked me to do work for him. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    Sorry for your loss! Hope all is rectified soon!
