    Hi fellow Dpers,

    A few days back somebody with the name of Shekhar contacted me to outsource some article job that he had received from his client. His email id is:


    Sine he sounded too friendly and of the same age group, I almost forgot to take his DP id which was my biggest mistake. So, the only contact I have of this guy is his present gmail id. I plead all of you to help me in finding this crook since he never paid me my dues although the articles have been published since I checked them through copyscape.com

    Has anyone of you worked with the guy who has this email id? Please do let me know. I do not care if the amount was too small to be crying over, but people like him think that they can run away with some else's efforts and I want to prove him wrong!! VERY WRONG!

    I request you guys to help me n locating this guy. If you know his DP id, please mention it in the thread so the forum knows the culprit and we make sure we condemn such people from reputable market places like DP.

    Anything from you guys to help me or save the forum from this crook would be appreciated!

    Great efficiency there :)

    I was still thinking what can I do.

    You should have checked his profile on Dp, and his feedback though, doesn't always have to be bang on but there's certainly indications of his scamming history.

    Anyways, take care, & thank you for your alert.

    Regards, n.

    Last week he also contacted me to write for him but when I ask the price he canceled the order. I guess he was not banned here.

    Take the game to him
    Since you have written all the articles, take them and blast it across all the article directories as immediately as possible and get some backlinks to those articles, rank those articles above his articles and make them look like duplicates, he will frown upon himself (better if he has used these article for his client, since the client will kick his a** when he finds the articles pointing somewhere else), other than this there is nothing else you can do

    You can actually get banned yourself for making threads like this on DP. Don't get me wrong, I agree you should do what you can.

    Just a bit of advice - Always get at least 50% of your payment before hand.
