As I understand they paid you in advance just part of money, not for whole job? That's not good sitaution.
The OP have been paid already in advance to start the work but they never have responded the OP back even though they have already paid OP. The employer didn't get or check OP's work yet and OP still didn't finish the work yet too.
So, this is something about a concern being a good human, not as an employee. I guess you could keep your work that you made for them, stop continuing the work temporarily, and wait till they respond. You can't do anything other than that even you may knew his/er other social accounts.
Yes, they paid a lot of money for the job and I really feel bad if they didn't collect it or something has happened to them. When they contacted me and we agreed on the deal, never knew he'd trust a stranger with all that money without escrow, so I really hope they're safe.
A client hired me to write some articles in April. They contacted me on Telegram and paid an advance. Since then, I've not been able to reach them. I've done half of the job and though I need the balance, I'm more concerned about their safety. By the way, they said they're not a member of the forum, but know a moderator here. I've contacted the mod but he doesn't seem to know my client What I have is just his Telegram username. Who has an idea how to find my client? I just need a guide and won't be sharing their details to protect their privacy.
Sometimes there are times clients became suddenly busy IRL so I guess you just need for them to respond because if they didn't need your service they will not pay you in half.
Just don't submit any of your work unless you get the full payment for it.
Also much better to finish the job and wait for them to contact you and submit then ask for the full payment. Since its so bad if you stop it right now and suddenly they came back then you cannot submit anything because you stop it. Never thought of this. He paid more than half of the money. I got discouraged when he went MiA. I also am worried if I put in another full month of work at the expense of my other jobs and they still do not show up. Maybe I should try this and wait another one month. Thanks.

Since you have their Telegram usernames, you can share it here so if anyone can identify them. Telegram username is a public name so even though you share there is nothing spoiled. And if you have their other. I also advise you to be patient, probably they might think that the work is big and it would take time for you to complete it and also probably they are also doing another project at somewhere. April to June is some how far distance but since they have paid part of the service fee. I believe they will show up. If you can finished the work so that whenever they came back, and pay you the remaining balance then you submit the whole work to them. And that will also create trust among you guys.
At first when I saw the topic I was like, what kind of topic is this. And when I enter the inside I understand the whole story.
Not sure I want to share their username for privacy sake. I also have their email. I think I'll continue with the job in case they show up.
