    Hi all,

    Last month I hired DP member to work my website. He gave me an estimate of $200, and complete in a few "day". He required 50% up front payment which I send on Jan 08, 2016 to ""

    He never work on the project and make all excuses from his grandmother die, family problems, and busy.

    His DP useranem is :JovanJ
    Paypal Email:
    Skype: jovan.jojkic

    Go to Paypal and file a claim. You're probably not the first person filing a claim against him, so Paypal may decide it in your favor.

    Why would you send him $100 if you don't know him well? Did you get references about him before you sent the money?

    I bought scripts in the past that were horrible. I didn't know it until I tried them. So I filed claims explaining exactly that: Horrible scripts, misleading advertising, money wasted. Every single time Paypal gave me my money back.

    I hope you get your money back. For better accountability and visibility, I would suggest you to try freelancer.com. I've had several projects of mine outsourced there.
