  Old  Warning: Do not do business with Chris Gwynne

I Repeat do not do business with Chris Gywnne the owner of http://www.chrisgwynne.com

I payed Chris to code me a skin, he agreed and asked for a downpayment of $50 so i sent him the money through paypal. Later that same day(sunday) i told him i need the skin ready and coded by Wednesday, he agreed.
Wednesday came, he said he'll have the skin ready at 10PM so i waited, 9PM came and i asked him if he finished it yet he said theres one more hour to go so i waited more and 10PM finally came and guess what he went offline lmao. The day after that i asked him if he finished the skin, he said his finishing off some minor details then went offline. Friday came and i said im deducting $10 off his next payment, he agreed and then went offline. Sataurday came and he said his gonna finish it today, i needed to go offline so i said email it to me he agreed so i went offline, came back online on sunday and i had recieved no mail from Chris so i IM'ed him like 40 times over AIM and MSN Messenger telling him to give me a refund but he never did and still hasn't till this day.

yaXay? He's under investigation at the moment, his privileges as a moderator are revoked untill further notice.
Anyhow, I was wondering when the **** would hit the fan. I don't believe he's a scammer though, just making some bad decisions.

Chris owes me $175 that I paid him for coding jobs and never received the completed work, he IMed me yesterday and told me he'd send me $200 in the next few days, gonna wait and see if that's true or not.

I agree with Aros though, don't think he's a scammer, just making bad decisions or simply not giving a damn about business.

I have a knack for expecting the worst of people. However I hope that Chris is back shortly and all problems are resolved

Thanks for the heads up. It's unfortunate that this has happened but hopefully he'll do right by others...
