This member agreed to do hacks for me on May 13th. The hacks were two simple ones of which I was quoted $85. I paid $45 in advance.

It's June 16th and I still haven't received the hacks by email. I haven't seen Ben on Messenger or heard from him the since the 7th of June.

I hate to see people ripped off. Did he give references?

[Logtenberg]

I didn't ask for references. Next time I'll make sure to ask.

Seems like he uses a whole lot of smilies.

Always ask around, or to see previous clients work.
