A little while ago I ordered some content from Linkscrawler, paid an initial deposit and never received anything, and communication stopped around a week and a half ago.

Original thread is here: http://www.wickedfire.com/sell-buy-trade/69262-resveratrol-content.html
09/01/2009 - Received PM inquiring about writing for me
09/02/2009 - Asked for 12 350 Word PAR Syntax, and 3 500 Word Reviews and asked for sample
09/02/2009 - Everything looks good with sample.
09/02/2009 - Agreed on price of 90$
09/02/2009 - Send 45$ USD via paypal
09/02/2009 - Told it would take 5 days for articles
09/04/2009 - Received Note that work is going along
09/05/2009 - Was told should be ready tomorrow (09/06/2009)
09/07/2009 - Told articles are done
09/08/2009 - Told articles spin with PAR properly
09/09/2009 - Told everything is done, and tweaking PAR, told will deliver end of day
09/09/2009 - Told it's going to take longer and should have it later tonight or tomorrow
09/10/2009 - Told i'll get them before the end of the afternoon, told i'll get extra 3 500 word articles.
09/15/2009 - Haven't heard anything, sent a bump to ask what's up, no reply
09/16/2009 - Again asked for update and let him know paypal refund will happen if not soon, no reply
09/20/2009 - Asked again for an update, no reply
09/21/2009 - Issued paypal chargeback.
Still haven't heard anything from him one way or another, and paypal refund hasn't been issued.

Just thought everyone else should know.
 


Damn! Too many rip offs , i bet he got a rod up his ass. Tip: hire people who got a little rep. I know the price can be a good deal but its not worth in the long run. Look for a good itrader and someone who does not spam. And I had no idea PayPal issues refunds. I would like to know how that works. BamBamm keep an eye out for rip-offs. Prolly you can ask help from a mod or find some good content writers. Id recommend you browse the content section a little before making a decision.

I could not agree more.
 
CJ and WM make a valid point. But also keep your EYES open. few posts and no rep means bad bad bad.
 
This is why you stick to the people who have been writing around here for a while. This place has so many shitty, scammy writers that come and go.

Best bet is to see who the ones are that shines in the WF content scene and have proven themselves time and time again.
 
Yeah, I see all your points -

but, at the same time, I too was once trying to start out and it was tough as shit to get clients, so I kind of like to return the favor (karma or something i guess) to the little guy when i come across them - of course, sometimes it's too good to be true and someone gets fucked, but USUALLY I end up finding people that are honest and hard working - one of my best developers was found this way, then again shit like linkscrawler happens too :)

but yeah, i think i'll stick with itrader approved people from now on :)

sorry this post's grammar is atrocious, been up for far too long
