Default Duped Service from Ben Wilkins

I was duped by member Ben Wilkins earlier this week.

I had requested a Pay To Post mod for my forum and placed an advert on another forum. Ben Wilkins contacted me to tell me he had written such a mod and i could use it for $50.00. I pointed him to the current mod available on this forum by Calorie but he claimed his was better.

After letting him install it and giving it a quick test i was happy. Today though i thought id download Calorie's free mod to see what differences they had because i found a bug with the mod but i was shocked to see that the code was identicle. I then searched on this forum to see if this guy had any history here and saw that none of his mods were at all complex so when i saw him on MSN i questioned him about it and as soon i mentioned that the code was identicle he signed off.

I emailed him to tell him that i dont appreciate being ripped off and had he told the truth in the first place i might have paid him to install it, although i had received a cheaper installation offer on this forum. I told him he either refunds my money or i will post about it on here. He hasnt refunded so here i am.

I did open a paypal dispute but they were not interested.

To ensure that no-one else gets duped by this guy he can be found at:
