I wanted to warn everyone about insanctus. He accepted payment to do some upgrades for me then never replied, did the work nor returned my money.

I contacted Pay Pal and they said they would not refund my money. Here is the letter from Pay Pal regarding my complaint:

"Case ID: PP-046-972-077
Transaction Date: Aug. 27, 2004
Transaction Amount: -$35.00 USD
Seller's Email: admin@sanguin.net
Seller's Name: Robert Wiley

Unfortunately, PayPal was not able to resolve this dispute because the item purchased was virtual or intangible. result, we have not taken any
action against either account at this time. However, this complaint has
been noted in the seller's record for future reference.

Thank you for your cooperation with our investigation.

Sincerely,
Zdenek
Protection Services Department"

Please be warned of insanctus!

Also, VB.org Staff. What can be done about this guy who's using YOUR SITE to rip people off? Can't you ban him from the forums for using your site and commiting fraud against YOUR customers?


[edit and I'm refering to my request located here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68789 ]

I paid full amount of $70 because it was supposed to be a quick job and I didn't want to do a second transaction.

The payment was made on Aug 8th and Insanctus confirmed he had received the payment:

"Sweet, it came thru...... The code should be ready tonight (had a server issue in a move)"

That was the last I heard from him despite a PM to him which hasn't been acknowledged. Can't even contact by Yahoo IM.

Has he been banned from this website, yet?

Is there any trustworthy coders on this site who'd like to do my request and restore my faith in the coders on this site?

Unfortunately this is the way of the world well I see it anyway, never trust anybody especially strangers with your money, Paypal counts for nothing as its all virtual, I have money to spend on hack but too scared to do so because I do not know what the average hack goes for, one person asked me for $125 up front and $125 when they had finished, $300 seems a little expensive to me for a fault ticket system

unless this is underwritten by a solicitor it means jack crap, a written agreement with out being underwritten may as well be a handshake a nudge and a wink

I agree with what Dean says. Don't judge unproffessional designs and think they are bad coders. Some of the best coders out there don't even make proffessional looking designs that well and they don't because they are good at not making it look proffessional.

Which IS considered to be an agreement none the less.


Is this jerk getting banned or what?

And he lives in Michigan. I live 10 min from the Michigan border. :angry:

Yes a nudge wink and a handshake should be good enough, but users who rip others off just put a seed of doubt in your mind, it spoils it for the good coders out there, I for one will not be asking for service requests anymore, I'm too scared
