I don't like doing this. But it seems as if more people have been affected. Some of which may need the money harder as I do. So I am opening this up.
Unfortunately Mitch who goes under the username webmastr on BHW and owns a company called NorCal Creative with his brother Mike, seems to be a scammer. You can see his thread right here:

At first it took him a lot longer as he promised to finish the job. I wasn't in a big rush. And as he did show little progress... I decided to give him a few chances.
Then he dissapeared. When he came back, he asked for a second changes. He had some story where he had to move his family out of his home because there was some dangerous mold in his home. And they've been sick and everything.
I felt sorry for the guy. Because I actually had this same problem myself. And it's no joke. So I gave him another chance.
He seemed to want to deliver. Showing me mockups and everything. And it really seemed as if we were only a few days away from completion. Sending me covers for my product to make sure this is what I was looking for. Which is when he dissapeared again. No reply. NOTHING!
Then we all got a message from his brother telling how he was in the hospital, etc. He would refund if you'd reply. Or get $150 towards a future project. Projects would start completing the week after though.
Honestly, I really wanted this graphic. It started to look awesome. And I rather had the graphics as my money back. So I replied it was ok. And I just wanted my graphics. NOTHING came back.
I waited... and waited... and waited... and waited some more.
Then started to send emails. No reply.
I send some more emails. No reply.
I asked for a refund at some point as I got really tired of this. And obviously I still need to wait for a reply.
Now, it may be too late for me. I will start up a dispute either way. At the very least to set something in motion. The money is not very important to me. But the principle of the matter is. Which is that he didn't only take my money, but possibly also money from people who actually needed it. Who could actually use that money to feed their families for a while or whatever. Which is not the case with me.
Till date, he owes me $250. I still honestly rather have the graphics. As they did look extremely good. But I am not counting on it anymore. My only goal is that anyone who is still waiting and falls within the 45 day period will simply open a dispute on paypal. So that they can save their money. As I probably won't be able to do with mine as it has been over 2 months already.
I need to add that he had a serious communication problem right from the get-go. I guess that should've been a sign.
