    Hello,

    I hired vishnu beginning of last month to make a myspace type site (mydigitalfriends.com)

    There are many issues with the script and everytime i ask him to fix it.. he will constantly reply back like a bot saying "its a server issue"

    I have asked other programmers and they have told me if he was actually the creator of the script then he should be able to recode it or figure out what the issue is.. since when i ask him what the server issue is.. he refuses to tell me and just says "contact your server admin" since its a dedicated server i can change anything i just need to know the problem..

    What should i say to him to get this straight. He is acting like a child and i dont believe he created the script at all.

    Please help

    Your script is created by a company called: Vastal I-Tech and is called Buddy Zone.

    Here is their website: http://www.vastal.com/

    Thank you for telling me this.

    I am calling up paypal and reversing the transaction ASAP.

    What a scammer!

    Very sorry about this... you are entitled to know though. You didn't pay for a custom script :(

    Took me a little bit to find the exact software, but I know I'd seen it before.
