Blog designer mBerk scammed me *BEWARE*

I hired a designer named "mBerk" a few weeks ago to do 2 blog designs. I sent him 50% by epass and he disapeared off the face of the earth. Does not respond to emails and has not logged into ICQ since.

https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/916220-custom-blog-designs-coded-wp-themes.html

I was sure this guy was lagit because a good friend of mine hired him and he did an amazing job REALLY fast.

Mberk is a really good guy, might be some personal issues here. I would not state scamming this early but..I have had some experiences before when designers/programmers just vanished on me and showed up some week later explaining why they vanished.

This guy has been used by several and I am sure people will back him up in this thread.

How is it not scamming? Personal issues mean NOTHING when you put half down for work and someone disappears.

.... why do people always say "He's a good guy."
No he isn't, he took off with a bunch of peoples money and isn't delivering work.

I sure hope so.

I just find it sad that threads like these is the only way to pull them out of hidding.

He is a good guy. You, however, are debatable.
"a bunch of peoples money"? So far, it seems like it's just 1 guy who is having issues?

Put a tampon in it, drama whore.

BradM, dont missunderstand me here . I just know from his history he has deliverd.

I am not defending him in any way but..lets say he got taken to jail or whatever, maybe something happend he cannot control.

Sometimes people just scream before situations are clear. But I do feel with OP..I fucking hate when people accept job and vanish

There's several threads on him lately.

Seems like more than 1 guy having issues.

Put a tampon on it, dickshit.
I don't expect an apology, but I know and now you know you're wrong. So that's what matters.

There are a couple threads lately. My guess is that he's busy, sick or having some other issues. So, what REALLY matters here is... what business is it of YOURS? Do you even know him?

I've had dealings with mBerk as well. Always does fantastic work! I think that in this case, there is some kind of explanation.

Hope it all works out for the best in the end for ya ;)

I'm not aggitated in the slightest. It makes me laugh that retards like yourself actually think you know something. So, go on, keep on keepin' on. The rest of us will just laugh at you behind your back.

4. Was a total bitch

If you still haven't figured it out yet, it's you.

I may come across as as a "board whore" but I am right in this situation, right about you. I am right, you are wrong and you're sorry. So I accept your apology which is in the form of a weak defense.

Have a good day former associate of Grimshawn

The guy who:
1. Called someone out for being a board whore
A: You are a board whore.

2. Did so on a topic he had no prior knowledge of
A: I know mBerk. He is a great designer. He may be slow, but he does the work. He is also very cheap for the quality he does.

3. Had no facts on the situation, IE saying "1 person has this issue only" when in fact it could be as high as 6, but is at LEAST 4
A: I don't surf this forum daily like you and memorize who is doing what. I read this thread, because I saw it was related to someone I know and responded appropriately.

4. Was a total bitch
A: I call 'em like I see 'em.

If you still haven't figured it out yet, it's you.
A: Nope. Still not me. Keep trying. You'll get there one day.

I may come across as as a "board whore" but I am right in this situation, right about you.
A: Again, wrong.

I am right, you are wrong and you're sorry. So I accept your apology which is in the form of a weak defense.
A: Are you confused? I didn't apologize for anything.

Have a good day former associate of Grimshawn
A: You too!

All I'm saying is... mBerk does great work. I hear he does disappear here and there, but usually comes back and delivers. For the price he charges, I don't even see how someone can come on here and complain. Like someone said above, Speed, Quality, Price... Pick 2.

Anyhow, I'm done playing with you ladies. Have a kick ass day!

Oh now come on. If you give somebody money, regardless the amount, and they disappear with absolutely no word... you wouldn't be upset? You wouldn't be confused? You wouldn't wonder WTF was going on?

There is no excuse for taking somebody's money and then disappearing with no word.

I agree. That's theft. I'm just saying, maybe there's something else to this other than him being a thief? 2 weeks isn't really very long depending on what the project is. Also, "Life" happens outside of GFY & The Internet.

His work is definitely worth waiting for considering the price... how long? I don't know. Should someone pay up front for work? No.

AAAHHHH there you go princess you finally agree with me.

You couldn't just man up and admit it straight to me because you don't like me. But I am right in the end.

English isn't your first language, apparently.

Here are the 2 sides of the debate:
1. He is a scammer that is stealing money from clients.
2. You don't know the whole story from either side.

Either one of these could be "right". I'm just saying that given his track record of disappearing, then coming back and delivering, I wouldn't be so gung-ho to jump at him being a thief, since he has proven otherwise in the past.

You are pro-theif. I am not. Therefore, I am disagreeing with you, still. Not because I don't like you... I think you're a peach. But, because without all of the facts from both sides, it would be ignorant to promote any side of this.

mberk does awesome work, but its a shame he goes missing every once in a while, I did hire him to do a blog, over a week and a half ago, but I didnt pay him any up front, thats my general rule now, this is why.

But I am in no way calling him that title in the topic, he does come through when he comes back, and has always delivered an amazing product for the price.

Everyone knows designers are more flakey than apple pie.

Patience is what you need when working with any designers.

Up to that point, he was totally responsive and friendly and, like I said, he did some really nice design work.

What doesn't make sense is he completed the job in which he was paid...we saw the JPEG's. We were just waiting on the PSD files and the cutting/coding...like I said.

Weird...hope he comes back. I'd still probably hire him again -- if he has a reasonable explanation for this.

I'm awaiting finalisation of my design as well...
he wanted to finish it before August 5 since we were both going away for a week.

I saw him last online @ August 12.
Since then he doesn't respond to email/icq.

I'm not calling him a scammer, since he did good work, but he should act a bit more professional than this...

"designers" up and disappear like this all the time. i had a guy doing beautiful logos for me for a bit at a fucking unbelievable price. then he disappeared, and i haven't seen him in months. crazy crackerass designers.

i was kind of hoping he would show u and straighten things out with people so i could hire him for a job. doesn't look like thats gonna happen. shame. sorry to hear he got so many people's money in the process...

It's a shame. Mberk is one hell of a wordpress designer. I got him on icq a few months ago and told him about a few designs I wanted and he said he could do them in three days. The next day, when I had all my stuff ready, I messaged him, but no answer. Haven't seen online since. Every once in a while, I message him to see if he's around, but nothing. He could be banking on these designs, but he just can't get it together.

Designers are the only people in the world who has grandmothers that can die 4-6 times. Not to mention the extremely bad luck they have with computer crashes and internet connections.

Mberk had some months ago a car accident. People can become funny after these kind of events. I am sure he will be back, the guy is to good to stop working.
