Quick background:
Trophaeum submitted a website brokerage request to my company on the 28th September for a site he wanted to sell. It was smaller than I'd usually take on, but as it was Troph I decided to do it anyway.
For privacy reasons, I will not disclose the URL sold or the buyer's details.
We agreed a % the same day and a minimum price of $15,000:
From this point onwards, it took 5 weeks to complete a sale at $18,000 (above his initial asking price):
Since then, not a word. I have tried contacting him via Skype, email and IRC a number of times.
At this stage, I am not accusing Cameron of being a scammer, we'd just like our invoice to be paid. The service was completed above his initial expectations and he was paid promptly by my client via Escrow.
I recognise that myself and Cameron are in different timezones (I'm in the UK, he's in Aus) but we never had communication issues before and we both work long/weird hours anyway.
Seeing as I've had no contact through any other medium, I thought a thread here might prompt a response. This is a last resort before we consider taking the matter further.
I've personally sold over $1m in websites for BHW members in 2011 alone, so there are a lot of people who can vouch for me on that front. The proof I have provided above covers everything I believe to be important to the matter at hand.
If anyone has regular contact with Troph, I would be grateful if you could get in touch with him on my behalf. Thanks!
