Aaaw did i upset you :1orglaugh

sorry to hear that have you contacted Pay Pal and tried to do a charge back. I would atleast try and close his account down so he cant do that to anyone else

I hope you get your money back. But ultimately i care this <> much.

GDub n Franck going toe to toe.... This is epic!

Just kickin back watching the show... continue on minions!

I should make this thread ppv.

Ok the person using this email goes by the name of Holly Ganger and/or Holly Beveridge.

I hope 300 bucks is worth being indexed by Google in a thread about scammers.

Quietwebmaster, i know you are reading this. As you can see i won't forget about this.
Actually i will make sure her name, email, work address and everything i have of her, and whatever i can find of you in combination with the story of how you screwed me over will be on top of page 1 of Google when sombody searches for her name, work or email address.
You know how you can avoid this. Up to you.

I will spend 10 times this amount if i have to to expose your sorry ass.

So post it doofus....
Your prolly tripled your loss already with all the time you have spent on your empty fisted threats to destroy this person.

Are you blind, retarded or both?

And destroying people? I'm not gonna destroy anyone. Where the fuck did you get that from? Stop making things up you pathetic idiot. You're trying so hard to get back at me that it makes you look like a fucking retard. Give it up, you won't win.

If you don't me asking, what exactly was the nature of the work this person was supposed to do? Just interested more than anything else!

I won by default. Im not the prick who lost $300

these people should be banned from the site and blacklisted...

Imho
 

Gents,
I'm pretty new to the forum. I've been a producer, "webmaster" and developer on my own site and I have some PPV distribution and so on. Been in the business for about 10 years off and on, about 2 years dedicated. I know that tossing in my comments between a couple guys arguing where it's degraded to name-calling may only get me trolled, but I'll say a few things anyway on the subject of the thread, not directed at anyone...

1) no one's psychic, and it's pretty tough to read someone's mind - particularly the mind of someone looking to rip you off. They're pretty good at NOT sounding like they want to rip you off.

2) if something seems to good to be true (like rates and availability), it usually is. I know that's a "well, duhh!" kind of comment, but worth remembering.

3) if there's no trust ...there's no point. You can't pay someone all upfront that you don't know well "enough", but the other side of the coin is true too. I'm a career creative professional, and I've worked plenty of times on "good faith" and been ripped off almost every time. I've also asked for $$ upfront and lost the work. Someone else posted that "it's a balance" ...that's true, it is.

To the original poster, I know how you feel. I was not scammed out-right, but a web company/developers I hired years ago to do an earlier version of my site, took my $3000, fucked up my sight through incompetence (not intentional malice), then refused to pay it back saying "We did the work, and billed the hours." I could have taken them to court and won, but I'd have spent that money just to get it back. I decided to call it a "$3000 education" and move on. As a result, I learned HTML5, CSS and re-wrote my own site by hand - in many ways, that was the best $3000 I ever lost. It taught me some pretty valuable lessons.

To the OP's haters, go easy ...you've made as many mistakes. There's just not a thread where everyone's flaming you for them.

My 2 cents

I meant, fucked up my SITE.

I can still see, just fine.

Hey theportmaker. And welcome to GFY.

IM sure you know what its like here. GFY is like a zoo. Its like the monkey enclosure and throwing shit at each other is kinda mandatory.

50% throw shit becuase they are so dumb its all they can do. The remaining percentile throw shit becuase they are sheep...
I agree with everything you say in your post. Every single bloody word..

You left out one major factor though.. lets lable it 4)
4) Dirty F is a bit of a prat....And he can throw it around , but he cant take it.

Bump for dirty F..
ooo found a penny!!!

beware of this scammer

let's just stick to the original topic shall we? and maintain the advocacy for professionalism :) peace out
