Yes, I too have done work for people at DP and been told to go F.O. when I've requested payment. Giving them a negative iTrader doesn't work because they will just come along and negative post your credibility. As you say, people don't want to deal with people with red marks, so you are stuck. Contacting the admin about thieves on their forum is futile because they don't seem to give a dump.

Best advice, live and learn, write off the bad experiences and try to screen who you work for. Do a little ,then get paid. That way you don't loose too much. If someone is wanting a LOT of work before they pay you, they are probably planning on ripping you off anyway.
