I brought some goods off you not long ago from your site - how would you feel once i got the goods i reversed the charge in paypal by saying invalid transaction - would`nt feel to good would you.
Well thats the same feeling you get when someone scams you,and you writing a guide and then saying do your homework does`nt solve one little thing.

Lasto, I'm sorry for your recent experiences with your service requests. Honestly, I am. But you're taking your frustration out in the wrong place. This thread wasn't made in order to end all possible scamming, that's impossible. I made this to help you all with the overall experience and guide you to what can hopefully be a positive one.

What advice can I offer you on not getting scammed? Other than doing your homework, not much. Things happen. Not everyone in this world has good intentions and that's inevitably a fact of life. Hopefully with the few tips provided it can happen to less people, but it will always happen.

I'm happy to have you as a customer, and glad you like the product(s) I have to offer. If there's anything I can ever do for you, don't hesitate to drop a message. If you need a project done and I can't do it, I'll try my best to find someone who can. Good luck, and I hope your recent bad experiences are followed by nothing but success!

Always put in your request that you want the files on some form of tangible goods IE a cd, disk, jump drive, whatever you want. That way paypal will still have a chance to protect you, or shut the scammers account down.

Alternatively using a Escrow service is always a viable option if you don't fully trust who you're giving money to.

That's a good point. It's hard to tell who to trust at times. But I mean, what can honestly be a valid reason towards going back and changing your feedback on a certain project? Either the developer converted to a scammer, or maybe just stopped developing? I agree though, it isn't so much a good thing when old-time trustworthy developers disappear or begin to resort to "scamming".
