If it were me, I'd pretend I didn't know it was him and contact him again telling him I required his services after all.

I'd let him know someone was negging my site and ask if he could help me.

Then, in order to pay for his services I'd make sure I got enough information from him to track him down.

Then I would make my response.

you can increase the security like captcha plugins and other stuff
if he is using a specific range of proxies then just block those IPs

This happens all the time.

This is why I NEVER reply to these fucking idiots.

If you don't reply they assume its a dead email and forget about you. These little cocksuckers get so bent when someone says "no thanks" and then ruin websites.

OP, I have a feeling that the problem is with your hiring skills.
Keep in mind you have had at least 2 shitlists, where you refused to pay for work after it was completed.
I imagine that this is probably just the start!

Hmmm.

Who is more likely to spam somebody with 'shitlinks'?

A. Somebody you never hired.
B. Somebody you hired and never paid.

That's a tough one.

besides the people I work with longterm are more than happy. but like I said I refuse to pay for nonsense! and many people on here believe they can just jump on any project and then shout pay me pay me no matter what they did provide.
