Even if we did read your PMs we still wouldn't ban anyone. Private transactions between customers are at your own risk.
This isn't you Shawney but I say this for the benefit of everyone reading because when someone does feel they have been cheated they are under the mistaken belief that if they could just prove it to us (staff) that the person who cheated them will be banned. They won't.
No matter how good you can make your case look it will always only be one side and we are not in a position nor do we have the desire to investigate these like the police would.
My advice is and always has been the customer should not pay anything upfront and shouldn't pay until they see a full working copy installed on the coder's test server. Once they are sure the modification/style is real and working only then should they pay.
If everyone followed this advice, few if any, would get scammed.
I realize some people have huge projects where this just isn't feasible as a coder isn't going to commit to hundreds or thousands of dollars of work without a confirmed payment- in these cases I can only suggest projects be broken up into smaller parts- $50, or $100 at a time.
As for most mods thinking someone is an angel- my list of "angels" on this site is exceptionally short.
