    My review of Boostercontent.

    My Story and Opinion..

    I posted a writer job, and Konfused12 from booster content came on and nitpicked my suggested price in public, than PMed me saying he agrees with me and he will perform the job for my specified price.

    Agreement was made, time-table was set, and payment was issued with Paypal. Days went by, and NO articles came in, NO contact was made. Unless he has a really good excuse, it appears he has totally scammed me. Took my money, produced nothing, and has NOT made contact in any way.

    Konfused12, This is your chance to come forward and re-claim your dignity in public. I would like a complete refund. If this is how you treat your customers, I do not forsee you running a successful business.

    Yeah can't you? They have rules about virtual goods being traded. You can charge a payback because the other party could not prove delivery of work commissioned.

    Paypay's complaint system does not handle virtual items, unfortunately.

    Well, I know people can trade paypal for moneybookers (money), and request a chargeback. That is virtual isn't it?

    I say you try and request the chargeback!

    There is one rule in this world and that is to never pay for the goods until you actually receive them. The thing is, if people know they can do this sort of fraud, then they will.

    Even if some members have a good itrader, they can still be a little sloppy at times, but must admit they are much better to go with and pay up front than someone with no itrader or a low itrader.

    Hope you get your money back, but the odds of that is probably quite slim.

    Good luck.

    you should have not paid until you get your job done, unless you know that you are talking to a very serious person.
    Issue a chargeback on paypal.
    Good luck.
