What do you do when you pay for a premium add-on and the developer goes AWOL?

You are not the only one that hasn't recieved contact from him. He has run away with other vb.org member's money, mine included. A few members at vb.org paid him to make custom mods, of which he took upfront payment and ran. I have proof PM'd to me by various users and a case is being made against him with vb.org staff. If you have anything you would like to say about Gio, his service, him taking money without providing return service, or anything of this nature, PM everything to user "Chris M". (he is vb.org staff). Gio will need to face the fact that he has a lot of people wanting to contact him, and if he keeps failing to respond, action needs to be taken so that people know his pattern of dissappearing and untrusting business practices.

Consequences he can face if enough people PM and build a case:
- user can be black marked to warn other vb.org users about his bad behaviours
- his account on vb.org can be banned
- the issue can be brought up to vbulletin.com staff, investigated, and his entire vbulletin license can be revoked, causing him to shut down his website (siteresort)
- paypal investigation/claim to freeze his funds if enough people file a joint complaint
