    well this happened with me...
    a user "amcfad2" here who got me doing his logo never paid me.
    He got me to do a logo for www.biddycent.com and asked me that he will pay after the work completion.
    But when i completed the work he just simply used up the logo everywhere...on the website,facebook pages,videos everywhere.
    I doubt if he can scam me then his website www.biddycent.com may also be a scam.

    Though it was for a small price $30 but it's not the money...it's the thing that he used my logo without my opinion.
    if he would have requested me to do a logo now and he would pay me whenever in future he had money..i would have happily agreed.
    But he just scammed.:(

    send his host a DMCA notice for the logo.

    In the future, watermark your images and don't send the final image until payment has been made.
