    It looks like I got screwed, what should I do

    I'm sure that's not the first time things like this happen so maybe you guys can tell me how should I proceed. So:

    - following my thread about a marketing guy needed i got contacted by several people
    - one of them is an old member of this forum and e showed extensive knowledge on the subject
    - he made me an interesting offer, i checked his name and company and found nothing wrong so, based on the invoice he sent me, I paid him some money (half of the first month fee for development and marketing)
    - after two weeks it seems he is not going to execute the services or to return the money (he didn't event sent me the detailed plan to agree on)

    How should I proceed in order to get my money back? Besides writing his name public and preventing others from being scammed also, is there any legal action I might take? It looks like fraud to me...

      Sorry to hear that. Sucks when it happen. Legal action for two weeks pay. Nope!
      Not worth it. Public mention is probably your best bet. Won`t get you the money back but at least you can tell your story and so can he. Then others can make up their own mind.

      Best of luck to you.

                                  Damn, expose him. It might have been a scamming fake nick.
                                  p.s. should have hired me. Still need the work done?

                                                      Not ONLY THAT but you might find that you are NOT the first or ONLY one who has been taken advantage of and be able to more effectively fight for justice!

                                                              Expose them. I know I personally do a search for every person before I do business with them on GFY. I avoid business with people that have mention of customer service issues (if they seem legit) . I also avoid doing business with people that carry themselves in a typically unprofessional way on the forums. So by sharing the info you could at least keep the next person from getting scammed and hopefully the next person will do the same in turn.

                                                              Doing research I think has mostly made my business dealings here pleasant. Only issues I have had was someone who took many many many months to deliver a custom shoot deal and one other bulk picture deal I purchased that was beyond crappy content that I still haven't gotten my licenses for and 1 FB account issue that while unpleasant was refunded. So 2 not great experiences out of literally probably thousands of business deals is a pretty good average based on people sharing good and bad info about dealings on here.

                                                                              Well if it remains sour then you are obligated by GFY rules to out him. As you said, you did your GFY check and found nothing wrong.

                                                                              If you get screwed you need to set that precedent so others don't fall victim as you did in the future.

                                                                              I get that not naming someone keeps a level of integrity intact but if you get scammed you owe no such respect towards said scammer.

                                                                              Everyone remember this thread in a week.

                                                                              GFY is often fun and games but its still very useful in keeping people on the up n up.

You think I should also report him to US authorities for fraud? Just to make sure he won't do this with others in the future?

                                                                                                                                                              - following my thread about a marketing guy needed i got contacted by several people
                                                                                                                                                              - one of them is an old member of this forum and e showed extensive knowledge on the subject
                                                                                                                                                              - he made me an interesting offer, i checked his name and company and found nothing wrong so, based on the invoice he sent me, I paid him some money (half of the first month fee for development and marketing)
                                                                                                                                                              - after two weeks it seems he is not going to execute the services or to return the money (he didn't event sent me the detailed plan to agree on)

                                                                                                                                                              How should I proceed in order to get my money back? Besides writing his name public and preventing others from being scammed also, is there any legal action I might take? It looks like fraud to me...
                                                                                                                                                              people get screwed all the time man - I believe we chatted on skype about this position - should have picked me !

I mean my web designer only requires a 50% deposit. My SEO company I tried out several smaller projects before hiring them full time. Perhaps I am naive as to what kind of projects are arranged here. I can't think of a single thing I would need done I would send some one 1500 bucks upfront I have never done business with before. Especially not on paypal which may or may not properly protect me as the purchaser. Not that 1500 bucks is actually much money in the grand scheme of things I just hate the idea of anyone getting my money undeserved. Hell I am paranoid over purchases that are just a couple hundred bucks, lol.

He was local and I was going to give the deposit in person. He did the job fairly quickly so I was able to pay for the entire job ($1,000) at the end. About 5% of the work was not finished but by that point I was able to do a better job and finish it myself.

I am going to a meeting today to spec out the next job I was going to to throw at him for make me an Ap next week. Wow I dodged a bullet.

I mean my web designer only requires a 50% deposit. My SEO company I tried out several smaller projects before hiring them full time. Perhaps I am naive as to what kind of projects are arranged here. I can't think of a single thing I would need done I would send some one 1500 bucks upfront I have never done business with before.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      I don't charge clients upfront money unless it's going to take a long time to complete the project.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Then again, I don't take on projects without doing a formal contract, checking out the client thoroughly (I need real names, not screen nicks), talking to the client on the phone about the scope and particulars of the project, and doing other basic business due-diligence. I never rely on the "good will gentlemen's handshake" method of doing business deals.
