I got scammed by @Ableoper. I hired the seller to post 20 google reviews on my business listing and he never completed the work after paying him $120 via PayPal.

The seller was hired on August 25th, 2023 and he also offered a "One-year stick rate or he replaces it for free in the rare, unlikely event it gets removed". We also agreed that he would post 2-3 per day.

He began work the next day by posting 3-4 reviews and that's all he did for 4 weeks.

I've contacted seller multiple times to continue work and was ignored for weeks. I requested a refund and he finally replied and said there was a "delay".

I decided to give him a second chance but with a "one week deadline" to complete all the work and he agreed.

One week past and no work was completed. I Contacted seller a final time on a Friday, to inform him a "Dispute Resolution" thread would be initiated on BHW and that I needed a refund. My message was viewed and ignored. Today is Sunday, 48hrs have passed.

As of today, the only 4 reviews he posted in 4 weeks, have also dropped.

I'm requesting a refund.
