:stop Warning: Programmer with the name nick Vision, dont hire him

After asking for a programmer here on gfy 3 weeks ago he contacted me.
I made a deal with him, he said he would do it within a week or something for x amount of dollars. So next day he shows me some work already which looked good. Day after he suddenly had to leave for 5 days or so for his company. So ok shit happens. He returns, tells me hes gonna start working on it right away. I hear nothing...since then he suddenly dissapeared from icq. I waited a few days, left him messages saying he has to be honest with me. If he has no time or whatever just fucking tell me so i can move on. Instead he gives me the same story once every 3 days that he shows up on icq for 2 minutes. "Hes working on it and will show me progress in a day"
Well he managed to fool me for about 2 weeks and now he dissapeared completely.

In total he wasted 3 weeks of my time. All he had to do was tell me he had no time or didnt feel like working on it.

So be warned, if this guy contacts you for work you better say no and find someone else.

Thanks for the heads up. It really sucks when people wont say, I dont have time, I can not do this, or I just dont like you and dont want to work with you. what ever. They should be honest.

hey hey, not all of us are "shitty free lancers"

I come with great references, from mainstream biz.

Always get a signed contract that obligates both parties.
