I think it boils down to one thing, never pay for anything in advance, unless you have previously worked with a guy and know 100% he's an honest and reliable guy. Have him program shit and install on his server. Only if you see final product and are satisfied with the way it work, only then could be the right time to pay any money.
He did do some of the work i wont deny that, i dont know the quality of the work i have to have someone over but its not nearly finsihed. So im not going to file a dispute to get my money back.

I just hope everyone learns from my mistake and avoids him. As i was saying to him this is horrible business and very unethical

Funny you should mention that, the first conversation we had consisted of me saying im uneasy about paying upfront since ive been screwed over by so many programmers in the past.. But i just want everyone to learn from my mistake..

PS: IF any of you know a RELIABLE programmer let me know!
