This is not a solution to the problem with scammers any more than prepayment is a solution for the honest workers. It comes down to doing work with people that you trust and have a good reputation. Now that there have been so many problems with scammers on this site vB owners are less willing to prepay even small amounts to honest workers for their work. What is to stop someone from always wanting "one more thing" before they consider a job complete and making their payment? The honest workers need a place on the site to be featured so they can be separated from the noise. How about a Featured Workers section under the paid work requests forum?
