I don't understand you, he was supposed to update the TOC and send to me not the other way round. My preferred means of communication was and remains emails even when I use writers in any part of the world, why should I make an exception to him?

I am not sure why you are defending him but in my books if you promised to finish a job within 3 weeks and you did not deliver despite being paid in advance is fraud.

If his best means of communication was whatspp then there was clealy a mismatch in which case he should not have collected my advance payment at all.

Before payment he was responsive to his mails but suddenly remembered WhatsApp after he got his advance, even then did he need WhatsApp to complete the work? Right now the work is useless and no longer relevant. Time has made the work useless to me.

The same mail he claimed he couldn't track was the same the one he went to extract just one part of the emails.

As soon as he saw a mismatch in communication he should have refunded. So tell me how this is not fraud?

For someone who was given a job to do around November, didn't deliver even now in March, please give another name for such a person.

If only I had seen this message before I engaged the services of this guy.

I bought into his nairaland posting also and I gave him a book to write since November, 2020, this is March 2021, up till now he has not been able to come up with an outline talkless of writing the eBook. Against my better sense of judgement against paying upfront, he made me pay you an advance of 14k after which he practically went AWOL and has since refused to respond to my emails.

Amechi Okoli (amech213) is a fraudulent writer who poses as a professional.

When I hired this guy for article writing, he insisted that I paid him before doing the job. But I was skeptical and rejected his request.

He later agreed to write and receive the payment after submission.

About 2 or 3 weeks later, after we've done several articles together, he suddenly decided that he won't write again until I made payment upfront. His reason was that I asked him about the progress of an article (24 hours after assigning it to him), and told him that his proposed submission time was late — when I haven't made initial payments.

I was surprised at his action. But I agreed to make the payment before he gets on with the job because I needed the article within that period.

He asked me to make an advance payment of N15,000 and balance him N7,000 on completion.

But I wasn't comfortable with this, so I decided to make a first payment of N4,400 (for 2 articles) and gradually disburse the funds as he submits the articles.

We both agreed to this payment plan, then I transferred the funds to him. Little did I know that Amechi had a hidden motive.

He delivered one article but refused to send the other. He then blocked me on Whatsapp because I was requesting for the other article.

He promises to deliver the article each time I call, but never did. I sent him bank account details (via SMS) to refund the money but he has refused.

It's been days now and Amechi has neither delivered the article nor refund my money.

Somebody please talk to this fraudulent writer.

Update:

After days of confrontation, he unblocked me, sent the article, then blocked me again. This means that he doesn't care if I need corrections or not.

Think twice if you're thinking of paying this fraudulent Amechi Okoli (amech213) before he does any job for you.
