[Paid Posting] I got scammed

IrDA · 04-27-2007

Someone hired me for paid posting at their forum and I made 200 posts but they didn't pay after that. What can I do? My many hours have just gone wasted..Should I edit all my posts and write.. scammer in it? Any advice?

It again would be waste of your time only. Its my advice to you that only go for postings to the forums whos administrators are known to pay after they get the work done. Go to elance.com for similar trusted paid postings.

Thanks for your suggestions, I didn't know about elance.com, I'll check it out. For this one I have sent them email that if they don't pay me, I'll edit my posts and write "Scammer".

that's a good idea IrDa.
There are people like that.They just want to make money but do not want to pay others.

I would check out Webmaster Forum - Internet Marketing & Search Engine Forums you can find people that are looking for this service as well.

That really stinks, It's happened to me before.

I use the DP forums though and I haven't been scammed there...
yet.

I got scammed one time by someone who took an offer from DP and made a thread at V7N in which he "offered" the same thing. I was set to make $20 if it had been a legit deal. Luckily I only wasted an otherwise uneventful day for that.

It would be stupid to do that. I mean, I understand where you're coming from but that would waste your time and make you look stupid to people who visit the forum. Don't look like a moron and sink to his level.
Do you have his email or something? Have you tried getting in contact with the person?
