    DO NOT WORK WITH SOMEONE CALLED KASHEM ON HERE.

    He hired me to write 24 articles today, had me work for 4 to 5 hours and then contacted me and told me to stop working!

    This is unprofessional and ridiculous.
    I will be selling the articles to a competitor's website to make a point to the client about this behavior.

    WRITERS BEWARE!!

    He saw my rewrite project I was hiring someone for (a different project that I was hiring so I had time to write his) and said I DON'T NEED YOUR ARTICLES, I WANT UNIQUE.

    I told him I was writing them that's why I was hiring someone for other work, and he wouldn't hear of it. I told him I would be taking legal action on him, but then decided to sell the articles to another competitor website so that it hurts him more than just in fees, but business.

    So far I've done about four projects for people who've contacted me by PM. Have yet to be paid for any of them. Apparently Kashem isn't the only flake around here.

    Say what? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

    But yes, there are scams all over...

    I've yet to be scammed by anyone, and I've worked with 30-50 different DP clients.

    But these days, I'm not in that position anymore, since I only write for one client :D

    i always get 50% up front and sometimes for first orders with new clients 100%

    that said we still need to be competitive so it it difficult.

    id stick with the 50% as anyone who doesnt want to pay i wouldnt work with.

    chin up as its his loss :)

    Kind Regards

    He offered to prepay but I trusted him because of his itrader, now I wish I had that 50% prepayment, because that would have compensated me for the time I wasted.

    Oh well, I'll be reselling these on here in the near future and hopefully get more money for them anyhow.
