Here's my story with Xi0s who is supposedly a great coder but decided to block me.

On May 13th, you guys may have known about Awnix.com. The layout was shown all around the place by me, and it was designed by Lewis Ainslie. This was great. Awnix was (and still is) going to be my best website so I looked for a coder and here comes Xi0s with a great deal. I saw his portfolio and I loved it so I decided to hire him. On March 13th, I paid him a payment of $125 to integrate the template into GameScript. He said it would be done in a couple of weeks and I would get a preview in 1 week.

1 week passed and I asked him if I could see the preview and he said he couldn't start it because he had "been busy with college." I understood the hardships of college so he said in another week he would have a preview.

I waited another week and he said that he has been having family problems so he hasn't been able to get started. Me, being too lenient (my fault completely) gave him another chance. Exactly 1 month later, I asked him and he said that he hasn't even started! That's when I got really angry. I mean, how could you have 1 month and 2 weeks to finish it and he didn't even START it.

Just recently on MSN, I asked him for a refund and he said he could give it to me but he would have to take on some other jobs first. ****ed enough as it was, I just said OK. Today, all I did was say "hi" to him and he blocked me! And too much time has passed by already for me to make a Paypal claim.

He had the skill to do it but instead he decided to block me. Not only that, he has also scammed other people on this forum. Whoever got scammed by him, feel free to post your story and I am telling you, make a Paypal claim because he won't finish your coding.
