Although maybe a different subject, what's sad is that I picked you (The Coldwood) for a project on June 8th and after about a month messaging you to find out the status and you telling me that it's been stalled due to an audit on your company. Of course this is about a month after I do my part, paying your $65 amount up front, and also giving you the description of the project up front. Atleast I knew you were working on the project I thought. Nope, another month goes by and now when I ask you the status you ask to send the project details again because you still haven't started.

I think that the saddest part, however, is that now that the project is about 2 months behind, and you are "getting ready to start" which you've said for 2 months now, you are actually telling me that I have to send the other half of the money to you? If you took the time to look down in our PM transcripts, you'd see that I've used the same PM so you could've read the details again on your own, and also you could see that you told me the charge was $65, not two payments of $65.

I've been ripped off by programmers before, this will be the 5th time if I don't get my funds returned. Obviously the problem is that I'm trustworthy and willing to send payment up front. From now on I'm done sending payment up front, and I'd advise others not to either.
