If you are selling a 50" Plasma TV for sale for $250, and someone says to you "I'll take the telly. Give it to me and I'll go get the cash"

It's not just the people requesting the work being done that are getting scammed. A few months ago I spent 3 hours sorting out someone's database after quoting a very cheap price. I did the work and haven't heard from the guy since.

I think that's why some coders want at least some cash up front before doing the work. Why should the coder trust the client if the client doesn't trust the coder?
