Warning: Do NOT hire insanctus!

[MickDoneDee]

Add me to the ever-growing list of victims that Insanctus has ripped off.

Others include allandk: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68436

and Leppard: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68789

I paid full amount of $70 because it was supposed to be a quick job and I didn't want to do a second transaction.

The payment was made on Aug 8th and Insanctus confirmed he had received the payment:

"Sweet, it came thru...... The code should be ready tonight (had a server issue in a move)"

That was the last I heard from him despite a PM to him which hasn't been acknowledged. Can't even contact by Yahoo IM.

Has he been banned from this website, yet?

Is there any trustworthy coders on this site who'd like to do my request and restore my faith in the coders on this site?

Always need to check a coder's credentials before just paying money ... ALWAYS!

Indeed, exchange contracts. Then if the programmer fails to deliver you have some security in getting your desposit back.-

A written contract isn't necessary, although would help. If you have proof of agreement, that is enough. You should burn him :angry:

After seeing this and a few other threads regarding coder's credentials I have a thought. Will the admins of this site let us coders post a thread in a forum labeled "Services For Hire". This may help as people can make comments towards their experience with us coders and should deter anyone looking to rip others off.....

i do have plans on launching a site kind of like ebay but for coding

Hmmm the only thing I know of Insanctus is that he has almost abandoned several customers who bought his gallery system including me. The fabled RC4 which is meant to have been released about 5 times now has never happened and his supprt is awful. Ive posted several suggestions and a bug or two on his ite but never heard anything back.

Its weird as at one point he was releasing almost nightly builds of the software and now hes just disapeared, and fair enuff if hes off doing something but theres that fear in some of us after the whole "corey" thing

You'd be surprised. It's used by thousands of freelancers every day. Don't let looks deceive you
