uniquewebdesigns scammed me for 400$

i been promised for an order with a timeline,timeline has surpassed. contract was breached including total etc which was all finalized. he said he will be sending file. everyday he had an excuse,yesterday he said his comp was lagging as he couldnt upload. made me wait 5 hrs to upload 100mb which is absurd. Then promised me everything today again and has now vanished. Im making this thread as i noticed he is responding to more "hire for freelancer" threads and i dont want a fellow member to lose money. I have all history of logs from the PM's and from skype. his skype ID is the same as username "uniquewebdesigns" . Im not sure what to do as he ignores me when i msg PM's. He doesnt respond on skype,please mods or admins help me out. I can post all info of agreeement. I was wondering if i could somehow cancel payment via paypal?as i just paid him yesterday. not sure if theres a cancelation period. Hope no one else gets burnt like i did. losing 400$ while working a regular is a lot,i know its not much for a lot of you guys in your successful business but it sure as hell pinched me

 

Just file a case in paypal for a refund.
Paypal surely help you to get your money.
Do it ASAP before if he cashout if you sure he is scamming.
In b/w you can also try to contact him.

 

b/w?on forums here?i do private message he doesnt respond. i dont know who to go to or what to do so i made this thread. Also stupid me has just learned,when you send as "gift: from paypal. Paypal does not allow you to dispute. man,i feel like crap. i know i wont get money back now,admins please guide me and ban this user. not for my sake but so other innocent people dont get scammed by this asshole.

 

if senuke gets a OCR tech, he'll definitively kill both,

 

what does that mean?i am sorry as im new to some of the terminology. forgive me for the dumb questions

 

technically they dont open case when personal transaction, a fellow BHW member (kambhai) has helped me and guided me to call and plead and they mite listen. Bless his soul because they did,they have given 10 days for him to respond or i will be refunded. I will update as it goes along. Below are both cases that are opened by paypal today. Hope i can get some assistance from fellow BHW family. you guys are super nice

i really hope so to,lot of amount to lose in a week . you said for me to link his profile here. how do i do that?his name is uniquewebdesigns on this forums. im unsure how to make a link for it. hopefully admins/mods can push at him to now

 

Where did you find this web designer? Did he/she posted here in BHW? If so, he/she has an username. I was scammed too from someone but from BHT forum. I thought that if he has a good reputation there then I can trust and so on and I've stransfered $600 with paypal. But, we have diceded about a 3 months job, so that after 3 months there's no more refund from paypal. So, I've decided that from now on, I will always have all the print screend of the deal, I won't pay in advance for a deal that will be for more than 45 days and I won't pay personal so that I'll have the refund as an option. Because I do order a lot from the internet and have been since twice in paypal trial and I got my money back. Be careful, know the rules and it will be fine. And beeing scammed is a part of the game I assume

 

wow,im speechless. thank you mods for your support. love the BHW family

 

He scammed me too. Thought I will give him 12 more hours to deliver or refund but I will open a dispute right now.

i got all messages from PM and skype history log

 

Always dont pay full money .first pay 30%-40% and after delivering the work ,pay entire amount you owe him.If he asks to pay full money then use escrow.

 

yes, i have learned the hard way mate. thanks for sharing the input though. the thread was mainly to protect other members s they dont end up losing like i did. i considered mine a lost cause but kambhai helped and paypal felt sorry for me and opened the dispute. guess there are angels out there helping ppl out.

 

Seems to be he is from Philippines http://uniquewebdesigns.sulit.com.ph/ found after a google search with his email id

 

Thanks for the post. This person had contacted me yesterday via skype on a web design design request I had posted in BHW. Hope you and your money are re-united soon...

 

hope this thread saves you the loss mate. that was the main reason i made the thread.
