A Potential Scammer by JakesCreativity: 8:01am On Oct 27, 2023
I worked for a user here, built a whole e-commerce website and he has been ignoring my calls to pay up the rest of my money. I'm giving him just 30 minutes to do the right thing or I'll post our chat details, his name, photos and all the moniker he uses on nairaland here.

Just 30 minutes

I will still blame you on this, why did you even agree to it ? you don't start any job without receiving a part payment, you also don't deliver the finished job until you collect your balance.

bro, I wish I could send you the recordings of our audio convo. He looks like a person that is in dire need of help.

In this kinda work, sometimes, you'd meet people that would need your help and if you have a soft heart, you'd just do it before requesting for anything. I have been in that situation before and the person helped me out so I kniw how it feels. Infact, we spoke around 9pm and I got his website up before 4am. That's how much I was willing to help without upfront payment. I am a family man, I don't act too stiff in business. "Someone else will surely bring a job that cover the cost" that's my belief.

I don't need to even continue with this thread, I've done what needs to be done

That's how one I met here also refused paying me.

Recently met another that needs a particular website. After installing the script, I hang my mouse and ask him for upfront.

Na so we start stories but I just forget that deal and moved on.

If you are a client and has been scammed in the past abeg no near my dm because I will always request 50% upfront or I'll work 30% of the job and request my 50% upfront and before I make delivery my money go dey 100% complete before I can hand over.

If you are using WordPress there is a script that will put such client website on a blank mode.

I've met people like this too, but the problem is that as long as you're human, helping is always something you'd want to do. This guy thought he's smart, he change the WordPress login url... Well, the site is permanently down now and I'm not even stopping there. He has the habit of offering ridiculous amount to potential web developers. But I'll teach him a lesson. He wont even be able to use his hosting again

Don't fall for it next time, business is business. Put any job on hold till you receive payment

Please always ensure that there's a level of commitment before you start any job... When I say commitment I mean say before us do 15% of the job make sure u have collected 20%
