^^^that sucks :/ aside from the anger though you gotta pity someone who operates that way. hope it helps to know that you're a better person than that azz will ever be
I'm pretty lucky, actually have never been scammed. someone tried (my last main site, the owners closed without paying anyone). I hate that other women lost money but ultimately it worked out well for me, was what prompted me to go completely solo. don't think I'd have the career I have today if they hadn't tried to fuck me over. passed on my lawyer info to my peers who got screwed as well, but most were owed xx to low xxx so not really worth a court case.
they owed me a few k, was very grateful to both you and Deiz for putting their names on your blacklists at the time btw. gracias for that sincerely
I sued 'em in small claims through a US law firm after they made it clear they would not be living up to their debts owed. to me or anyone else.
only found out like a year later that this wasn't the first time they'd done this apparently.
day before our court date one of the owners agreed to settle in full. INCLUDING court costs, skip trace and lawyers fees. which is more than I actually expected.
so grateful to my lawyer for that, she had to talk me into demanding that to settle the other party needed to pay for all that. I'm conservative when it comes to risk, would have honestly settled for just the amount owed had she not pushed me to demand the extra costs.
know it's not always economically feasible/prudent for peeps to fight back, but there is something so wrong about letting someone get away with crap.
at the time everyone but my partner and one cammer tried to talk me out of it. said it wasn't worth the hassle and expense. in my limited, anecdotal experience it was. yeah took a bunch of time but allowed me to make a fresh start with no residual anger.
I don't let go of things easily though
