Well as the title says Beware. I just want to share my experience with this waste of human space.

this user contacted me a month ago asking for help and when he showed me what he had made it was all wrong and wouldn't work for what he wanted. I told him what to try and instead he offered to pay me to figure out the best way to do his game type. Well needless to say I agreed to do the work and gave him a price range. When I completed what he had asked and asked for the low end of my price range he refused to pay because I wasn't able to show him the performance on a 3GS. This hadn't been agreed upon and I had shown him iphone 4 performance and 3g performance. So I reluctantly agreed to try to find someone who could test on a 3GS and after several members here were bugged to death. I finally this week got it tested on a 3GS and a third gen ipod touch. And go figure once I sent these video's with the good performance results he tells me, sorry you took to long we are going a different direction. And we are not going to pay. Now honestly I was not surprised this a$$Hole pull this as I expected it once he just kept bitching I needed to show 3GS performance after constantly telling him I did own one. I'm just very pissed right now I spent several days working out these issues for the prick.

So make sure if this piece of sh*t idiot contacts you, ever, asking for help or offering to pay, tell him to shove it up is a$$.

Oh and Thanks to the two of you who got me videos trying to help out. I'm very sorry I had to waste your time for the worthless prick.

    Yup. I remember him telling me about this. I was one of the users that was going to do the testing on my 3gs but couldn't and still can't get viewer running. thats beside the point. constantly everyday, this guy kept b*tching at him for all sorts of things. He is not your average a**hole for sure.

    You even ask for money before the project is done?
    I never sent him the work and I would like to get paid upfront of course but most businesses don't get paid until the work is done so I didn't push for it.
    Live and learn. I figured it was fine since I wasn't sending until paid but never thought about him backing out all together.
    Hey all you new GameSaladers don't get pissed if I ask for payment upfront from now on. you can be pissed at this guy for screwing it up for you.

    Well honestly before this I would have never asked to be paid upfront.

    Usually ask for 1/2 upfront to get started. Then upon completion the other 1/2.

    Yes, this seems fair!
    Same for artwork/artist, shouldn't you put some $$$ down first, some deposit
    for them to start work for you?

    oh man that sucks... I'm so sorry this guy made you waste your time.

    What I normally do is ask for half payment or at least 30% then I show them the work and they pay me the rest. That always seems like a fair deal and the customer doesn't mind.

    well I am one of your testers too

    so I got his PM he tells me to help him, I reply and says who are you? an no reply since

    GS team should banned him first

    so who ever wants to help anyone and get payed get 10 percent of the money every day, until it is over
