Clients Disappear!

Hi guys,
A few days ago, I got a client for a Photoshop project. I completed the job, and he paid half of the amount, saying he’d send the rest after checking the files. It’s been a week now, and he still hasn’t paid. He also stopped responding about four to five days ago.

Have any of you experienced a situation where a client disappears or stops replying? What’s your advice on this? And do you think there’s still a chance he’ll pay the remaining amount?

Take the loss and move on, next time get paid before you do the job, lesson learned.
