Discussion Scammer Developer

[Vedi]

Hello there, I found this guy from fiverr I'd like to inform that this guy scammed out of me 400$. The sad thing is, we were working since April and he was completly fine at start,
doing the tasks I had on my notes and this is why I trusted him.

 

Here starts with interface, he told me he can add a better interface and I was interesting about it, 6th April:

After I paid him all the tasks/interface (he didn't finish yet) he asked me of prepaid 350$, so I was like okay, he gonna setup the server as well,
he gonna do this, that etc and I will not pay later, if he needs tho its fine by me to help him.

 

I had no more tasks to do and even the 40$ left, didn't send 310$ and told him it's fine, take the 350$ you need and if something comes up we will see.

 

Here starts the thing, I try to contact him and he starts to stop answering and giving excuses:

He still didn't finish anything again and then I decided to search for other dev to start work on it, since I realized I got scammed.




After this message, I told him, leave whatever tasks we had made a deal, lets make some other tasks and ofc price them for me, worth of 400$ (all the tasks he didn't finish was that worth)


I ask for money back here, but who gives them back?  


He was working fine until the prepaid of money, after that was done. Btw he says, that he spent his time, I also spent time on work to make that money,
I never asked him to do something that he may not know, I always like, "I have these tasks, what can you do out of these", he might change 1 line for 1 task (10 mins work) and get 20$-30$, we never
agreed to get paid by hours.
Btw I know its not like I lost thousands of Euro or whatever, but still is good to avoid scammers. I got scammed from another one on fiverr, but that was like 30$ so I won't even bother.
It's good guys to be careful, I mean give the 1/3 or the half until the work is done and then give the rest. 
Cheers!
