User has an active Flag that can be supported here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1205229;page=iflagsThis idiot wanted to deploy a whole Django app that runs a web scrapper using Selenium on a shared Cpannel without root access lol I said I'd get the job done for peanuts (300 euros) but when I started to dig into the code, everything was broken. Yeah, a lot of syntax errors, no timeouts, proper response code etc.
I being a gentleman, fixed all of it. 3 days of my time, communicated to him over and over again (he deleted our telegram conversations which I didn't bother because 300 euros correct?). After I migrated his whole app to a new VPS, and did everything as they mentioned, he refused to pay me the money with some stupid excuse like fixing the UI or whatever. I said I've been working with you for the last 5-6 days without taking a single penny, just to ensure you get the industry-grade application and now when it's finally done, you're backing away from paying me. Your man just blocked me off Telegram and deleted the history lol
I could use escrow but like 300 euros so I didn't think it was worth it.
I don't want to take any action or anything like that but just avoid this dude at all costs. I do want to get paid for my efforts but this scummy behavior need not be tolerated.
Thank You!
EDIT: There is already a feedback which I should have taken seriously that is literally along the same lines that is
Would not trust this user. Get the work up front before paying, he will run off.
Exactly they ran off!
