Duped Service from Ben Wilkins

[pcoskat]

I wish we had iTrader here. So we could read feedback on coders. Coder could also post feedback on whether or not the person who hired paid in full or not.

I just got taken by another coder, too...fortunately it was only for $20.

Please let me get this straight? Did you posted here on vBulletin.org and did you get in contact with this guy on vBulletin.org? If not, then vBulletin.org is not the place to complain. You will need to complain where the contact was made or the transaction took place.

If you think that he is selling copyrighted work of others, then please contact the author (calorie) and help her to stop people selling her work.

This is the only post i am going to make..

I had contact from him on SITEPOINT not vbulletin. He asked for a pay to post mod, and i found one and installed it. I did not say i coded it. I said i used it on my forum. Not made it.

I do blame myself a little, i should have done more research before i agreed and we all learn from our mistakes

Sorry ansuk! I misunderstood.

I have to be honest though, if noobs like Ben can make money installing other peoples hacks I might try it out as a full time job!

But you knew you got it for "FREE" from here, so why did you not just send him a link to download the hack from vB.org for himself. And explain it was a free hack.

You also say he asked for a "pay to post" mod, the mod was not yours to charge him anything. And you should have explained it may be a "free hack", but you would charge to install it for him. But it seems you played along and let him think you created it!

Pretty lame excuse that.

It seems to me that both sides have now posted their points and since it's clear that this was not even the result of a service request here, then this really has nothing more to do with vb.org. Therefore this is being closed before it deteriorates into an argument.
