All phpLD Designers beware

[smub]

hello my fellow phpLD designers,

i am writing this post to identify a scammer in your eyes so you guys stay away and don't waste your time.

a few days back i got a custom design request and the guy paid me $150 (50% Down payment)

In which i made clear that $125 is refundable and the other $25 is not if he doesn't like my mock up versions.

Screenshot where he agreed in the pm with the partial refund.

Well after two tries he was not satisfied with my design and he said that my skills weren't as good. (No problem)

I issued the refund of $125 as i mentioned. Even after that i got a paypal dispute with saying he expects $25 more.


In his last email:

also i'm sorry your services and hassel was not worth $25, you owe me the other $25 otherwise i will warn everyone against doing business with you.

The time you cost me in not getting my project done cost me $500

My time personally is worth $300-$500/hour

Now if you want to see the work i did

tell me if that is not worth $25 ....


There is the username of the guy at phpLD forums

PHP Link Directory Forum - View Profile: namefarm


I dont know his digitalpoint username, but here is the site he will be asking the design for:

RacingSpace.com and his example would be The Online Motorsports Authority. NASCAR, Formula 1, Auto Racing, Moto Racing, Cars, Bikes, PINKS and more! - SPEEDtv.com << Apparently whoever is designing he wants you to rip that design of even when he says he doesn't want it similar he wants it exactly like that.



If you know his username here then reveal it. Otherwise just stay cautious because i am sure you don't want to waste your time.

As per your deal, $25 is non-refundable so there should be nothing to worry with your template. Graphics is very competitive subject and thanks for acknowledging us about the person.
