    I hired a writer to write original contents, When I was reading the content I thought to myself, this content sounds to complicated and it don't make sense so I copyscaped it and I found it was copied from 8 different websites.

    I am very angry because this has wasted my time.:mad:

    What i dont understand that this person has done work for 6 other people referring to their itrader and they are all satisfied with the work.

    Lesson learn mike.

    Well, it can be anything.Maybe the six persons are his friends or he himself.

    Or maybe, the iTrader is given on other deal not involve in content writer.

    Or maybe,all the sixth are totally scammed and did know about that.
    You are lucky, and well, use your power . Click on report button :p

    Don't report him to a Mod, they don't handle things like that. Just leave him negative iTrader with details about what he did, and leave a note in his sales thread, if he has one.

    People are scammed here all the time, as a writer I know I have been several times, and it's just the way it does every once in awhile. To avoid scammers, make sure you only deal with writers with a higher iTrader, or who can offer proof of their work, as for paid samples, that they have to write a Copyscape verify, that you will compensate them for, and remember that you tend to get what you pay for. It might seem like a good idea to hire someone for an extremely cheap price, but most of those writers will not be quality, or legitimate.

    No, they shouldn't. We don't get involved in private business disputes.

    And in the future, please don't post just to talk about being scammed. The only appropriate places to discuss those situations are directly in the deal thread or in an iTrader comment tied to a relevant deal thread.
