Scammed by Manuel da Costa from digital-tonic.co.uk

    Hello,

    I am programmer and have worked with Manuel several times but at last he scammed me 230$. The project was http://incentiviza.com. Not sure why do he did this but to be honest i haven`t expected such action from him. He is from UK and i had several projects with him before, i have trusted him then the world is changed :D
    So my point to posting this here to watch out before going to business with him. His details:
    Mails: ,
    Gtalk:
    Skype: manueld12
    Domain: http://www.digital-tonic.co.uk

    So i think nothing possible to do here with my work for him and his value for it :(

    Thanks for attention.

    did you try to talk to him before you started dragging his name through the mud? If I was him you would never see your money ;) also I would never hire you not being him - this is not how you deal with such matters ...

    What a question, sure i have contacted him several times, by mail, by gtalk and skype. He blocked me on gtalk and not responds me on skype while he is online. I have messaged him many times and not got any respond.

    To be honest i don`t need the money he owe me or i am in need of money :D but anyway none want to lose any penny in life. If you have better idea then tell me and i will delete this thread and will go with that way.

    This is not my first project with him so he contacted me directly and we don`t have any forum posts.
    hmm yes i will post some updates onto linkedin, thanks good idea.
    I have also reported him and his UK registered company to UK company house, i wish i will get respond from them soon.

    my fault was just trusting you and sending my work. Every script has bugs but if you are so stupid that couldn`t install wordpress theme which already worked on my server then it is your intellect.

    I pretty much wanted to say what @Sensei.Design said. Why dumping a bunch of dirt on someone without him even knowing it. We really don't know all the circumstances to believe that he is a scumbag.

    Also, if you paid via Paypal just file a complaint, escalate it to a claim and get your money back.

    Releasing his actual personal info might have been a little too personal.
