    Do not pay anyone before a job has been done. If a developer refuses to start work, leave him/her and use Escrow or Elance.

    Never used escrow before and would be weary using it for the first time. That option sadly doesn't work for all of us. I'm pretty positive ill successfully get my money back. This isnt the first time this has happened to me on this forum, and (fingers crossed) I've never not won a dispute yet.

    Its not even racist. Its using common sense. Countries with lower living standards,
    ie: poor countries have a higher percentage of people trying an online scam.
    It is getting easier to track these thief's nowadays, which is good.

    With my case the "seller" has until the 18th Jul to respond (today) so I am hoping to get this resolved within the next few days. As I said before people have tried scamming me before though I've always managed to get my money back. Hopefully this time will be no different.

    That is pretty scary. We should really be careful these days. You should not trust anyone because most people now are fakes or scammers.

    how can those comments be racist ? if those are then yours must be also saying all of asia is higher.

    To ne fair he was pointing out that there are less legal standings and moralities from members who are registered in those areas..

    Yes, most of the buyers get their payment back because there were enough proofs. I too got my $350 back.

    Good luck then, report back in 10 days. If he responds to the dispute, make sure to provide any and every evidence you have because you will not have the chance to dispute the payment again.
