    Hi,
    I have been taking up projects for buyers here on DP for a month or so. Recently I had a bad experience, where in I developed a Java project for a buyer on DP. I asked for payment after showing him proof that the proj was done. He claimed that he was having some issues with paypal and needed the project urgently.
    I believed the guy and gave him the code, in the hope that he would give payment later. But since then he has stopped replying to my mail. Its been around 2 weeks now and I havent heard from him about the 50 pound payment he owes me.
    What do I do in this situation?

    Sorry to say that scammer always tell that they have problem with their paypal. Use escrow next time
    Now you can only PM his/her and leave negative itrade to him/her if she/he not reply

    This pretty much means you got scammed. Be cautious next time.

    Has the humanity been lost??? Why does this happen, this is really beyond of my understanding huh. Don't worry man our supremo the God has also seen this and he will do something by his own. I think that person is fool that he can't understood that the God is right there to punish him/her.

    Always take Upfront payment and never handover all the files before you get fully paid!

    Do you know which site is he using the code on? If yes, contact his hosting company and submit a DMCA.

    The last time I made that mistake it cost me $100. I paid for some videos that I never received. It was the Xfactor guy John Robinson. He had lots of excuses and even kept answering my emails for about a year. I got tired of his BS and moved on to other things. Lesson learned.
