So we get a warning that a member here has gained $3500 from you with this, yet no one has a clue who it might be?
With that note, I wouldn't want to hire ANYONE to do anything. Who knows who it could be. You could possibly hamper opportunities quite a bit of developers who do private work, by being so vague. We now have 2 major complaints about money being doled out to developers with no product in site, to the tune of $5500+. At least one is known.
Unless their is some kind of proof of payment, this is hard to believe. I'd be getting my money back, by any means necessary.
I am hoping many of the developers I trust and have purchased items from can now clear there name somehow.
