Im a little curious however as to how anyone would manage to pay $3,500 and have nothing at all.

Is that what you are telling us ? that you got nothing at all ? I would never, in a million years, part with that amount of money in one go.

I would be paying in installments, only as installments of working code were passed back to me. Anyone who would not agree to that, would not be doing work for me.

It was installments and the working prototype was kept on their end. As development and progress continued so did payments. This was over the course of a year. However one day development stopped and so did communication.

The development was not for vBulletin, but rather another development. Never the less, the advise applies universally regardless of the platform.
