Oct04 might be a scammer

[Amz]

Hey guys,

This guy contacted me for getting some post buttons made. I made them and he liked the work. He then asked me to make an avatar for him as well and I made that as well. When he got all the three images the way he wanted them (after asking me to make some modifications and shit) he stopped replying. Earlier he had told me he'd be paying using Paypal and PP fees shouldn't be a problem as he'd be covering them. Here's the log of the conversation which contains his last few replies. One can easily see that he stopped replying when he was satisfied with all three works:



I have tried contacting him many times via offline message on msn and I once sent him a PM here but he replied to none of them.

Here is the profile of the user:

He is currently online both on KWWH and MSN. If any mod wants his msn id just pm me or request here. Also request here/PM if you want the full log of our conversation.

I hope you can ban him if he indeed turns out to be a scammer. Btw he owes me $12

Btw if it's relevant here are the works I did for him:

Thanks for being a bitch. How do you think I feel about it atm? Anyways, that was the price HE offered me cuz PP fees would be charged on the transaction.

Deal was on KWWH. Here is my graphics thread:
Amz Gfx

He posted his request there and we discussed things in PMs. We used MSN just to make live changes to the design so that I don't have to save it and show him every time via PM.

Btw thanks for being sympathetic.

Lol yeah. I guess I can't help it.

I think it's not about the money, he just inform us,if that guy scam 1$, then he can scam your whole ass i mean, 10000$ , think about it

Exactly. The main reason why I made this thread was to inform the KWWH users, who knows he might scam someone else as well?

To everyone else who posted: Yeah, I know it's my mistake. I should have been careful and watermarked it before giving it to him. :/ Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I won't show a non-watermarked image before taking the payment.

Lets wait to see what he has to say for himself.

Have you given him a warning or something via PM?

As a GFX'er you should recieve the payment first.

Sorry, but it looks like you've been scammed.

Thanks for the warning.

[shadow.prx]

Yea you should watermark them till you receive payment that way they can see it but cant do anything with it unless they pay

This was not on KWWH their for KWWH is not responsible

[pubcon]

Hard to say when to get the payment up front but as a GFX'er ALWAYS add a watermark until paid. One that will definitely spoil the image if tried to be used. And never upload anything but a merged product with watermark. Not the layered image.

Good Luck.
