As many of you probably know, I provide custom programming service for several years now -
Software solutions and custom programming - home
At first I worked this way - make and send compiled locked and expiration version to clients and after testing they paid me. With time I had more and more cases, when clients, seeing that EA for their systems does not produce profits, were "forgetting" to pay. This made me to change the policy and take some part of fee in advance, but the same stories were happening, they "forget" to pay the rest. No wonder, they could get the code decompiled for lesser money. But even now, I still encounter similar problems, as it is possible to claim a refund or chargeback from payment processor or bank.
I will post here some most annoying cases, so other programmers could see and avoid such clients.
I know, they can change names/emails/etc, but I'll post as much info as I have, so that changing identity would not be so easy for them.
Recently a person called Mr. Mohammed Walji contacted me urgently to buy my product EmailTradeSignals. He called and pushed me to send it to him urgently immediately after payment, even though it was almost midnight. I sent fully working product to him. In 10-15 minutes after that immediately he placed refund request on Plimus (after few emails I decided to not waste the time any more and refunded it). To me this looks as clear scam, even that he claims, that he don't need it and will not be using.
