One of My Client Cheated - Advice me
- Thread starter getrank
- Start date
Like others have said, you've learned a valuable lesson. Unless I'm working on something that doesn't pay until publication, which is unfortunately all too common in my industry, I don't touch anything until I have payment in hand. I do my damnedest to get 100% upfront, but on the occasions when I accept 50% in advance I make sure there is documentation that clearly lays out the expectations, pricing and details of the project. You would be wise to start doing the same.
In your current situation, I think the best course of action would be to contact your client (though I'm not sure if you can call them that since they haven't paid) and set a deadline. Something along of lines of them having 72 hours to pay in full or you will begin removing the work that you still have access to change. If you're not talking about a ton of money, it's a pain in the ass to try going to court over it. Since you said at least part of it was link building, those would be the first to go.
If he doesn't pay, remove what you can, tell anyone you know in the industry not to work with this person in the future and move on while taking a lesson away from the situation.
Also, sorry that happened to you.

Pretty easily since he said he still has access to the source of the links. So I'd imagine he's just go back to where he built the links and remove them or point them somewhere else. Not that difficult.
Your first mistake was trusting a guy who owns a domain with SEO Guru in it.
SEO + Guru = faggot to the max
SEO + Guru = faggot to the max
A guy that owns a seoguru domain hires someone else to get #1? These type of threads is the shit I don't like.
yeah i have the Links and i have the source and access and i can able to delete them.Starting today to delete the Links
I sent him mail regarding that i am going to delete the links created for him and as well as going to leave bad review in citation sites he present.Waiting for his reply
First off request this thread be deleted so you can fuck his shit up and there is no proof you did it. If he fucked you over like this he's probably never going to pay. At this point I would just teach him a lesson. People like this are scum. Selling SEO services to offline business owners and don't have a fucking clue what they are doing. People like this fuck shit up for the rest of us that offer legit Offline consulting businesses.
