I understand Vbulletin.org has sticky threads and warnings to read before taking on someone to perform either a new site design or regular maintenance on ones site. What if we follow those guidelines and warnings by Vbulletin and get screwed? Is it fair to other potential victims to not be made aware of someone still able to promote his bogus services for others to fall victim to? For example I had a custom design designed I paid $500.00 for it when it was supposedly completed "The design was done on his site with none of my mods from my site shown in the demo". It took almost 6 months from my initial contact to completion with this person. Now although I only got a partially finished product I was still able to get it completed none the less. Now there are 2 to 3 others whom have used this same designer but had to pay up front I did not pay up front I paid when he said the design was completed and installed on my site. I had several template issues from various mods which needed fixing and he abandoned me after payment. Shouldn't there be some sort of way a new potential client could be warned against this type of stuff? Should this person who is doing the scamming here be reported? Will Vbulletin.org do anything such as take action against the person who is doing the scamming? Maybe I am just wasting my time writing this but I think it's very sad when I get 2 to 3 private messages saying they were screwed by the person who designed my site. With today's economy $500.00 is not a drop in the bucket for most!!
