Look around the forum, see what kind of user you are dealing with.

these threads simply go no where.Im not allowed to mention names in here,or risk getting suspended again,but doing checks on people DOES NOT GUARANTEE they will do the work.
If it did then the problem would of been solved ages ago.
The one who ripped me off provided loads of refs and previous jobs he had done and even had a website set up selling vbull skins,so i throught i was pretty safe there.
Obviously i was`nt.
Anyway if u think checking references is 100% proof you wont get ripped off then im afraid u living in cuckoo land.
We can also look at this another way - ive had a coder from here who has done loads of hacks and work for me and ive never seen one ref from him or any of his previous work.
He never asked for money upfront or even pushed for it when the job was done.
So as ive said many times before its the odd ones who are ruining it for the rest of them.
And thats what needs to be solved.
