sure i was scammed on some small occasions, where clients refused to pay after i work for 10 or 20 hours... my result: i released the codes for free so they lost their exclusivity...

btw, i got scammed on a bigger project, everybody knows about it... i was scammed by my own team on PostNuke... guys with not much references, no real experience with big projects, and me with too much confidence on guys with big mouth... i've quit the project i started because it was a kindergarden.

also, this is why the Paid Requests are not good... when a client is scamming a coder, nobody knows... because the coder can't rate a client, and a coder can't comment in the client's request. i've tried already, trying to give a comment about a client who tried to scam me for 2000$... never my comment was posted in the request thread, because it was my opinion in stakes, not his... (and no i did not put the thread url because i know it will be deleted!)
