Fair Enough Marco :up:

I think the result of a thread like this highlights the fact that Yes, there are some less than honest people out there and that we as individuals need to be extra careful in our dealings with strangers who charge for their services.

It wouldn't be fair, to try and offsett a percentage of the blame to VB.org, at the end of the day we, as individuals are responsible for what we decide to do, no one else.

Just be Careful, As Lasto pointed out, he's had plenty of help from Honest people on here and Yes they are here, you just need to look

Scams for a large site like this are bound to happen, with the many thousands of members and loads signing up every day, the chances are that you may come accross some un-savory types, so thats why we need to go into self help mode and double check before handing over cash. If you want to hire someone to do something, then speak out, ask, make a thread, but most importantly be 100% certain that you've done everything possible to minimise the risk.

Its not fair on the site, The staff (Who give their time to help us) to say that they should be doing more when really its us that should be doing more.

Its certainly opened my eyes, I started this thread to enquire about a feedback option, and what i've learnt over the week is, in all honestly, is the fact that WE need to look carefully at how we take on coders/designers, and have we looked at all the risks before handing over cash.

I was all for a feedback system but now, do we really want it to protect ourselves or just as a portal to pass the blame ???
