Scammed by punk55 (skype: kaleb.am) - beyondandthrough - Jun 9, 2017
Hi. A couple weeks ago I contacted this user (uid=2002640) after looking at this thread: hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5200652
Paid him 135 twice for a total of 270 for a website, which he partially made but is very dysfunctional and cannot function as a real website under any circumstances. I can give the website url to a staff member if they want it- it's not really private but I'd prefer to not just put it out here.
He has not responded to me for weeks, so I have no choice but to file this report.

Would be great if you can provide evidence to back up your claims

What evidence would you like me to provide?

Click on any other scam report. Look at the evidence they've given.
All you've done is state you've been scammed

I gave evidence of me paying him for a website. I've also provided evidence of him not responding to my requests anymore. What else is there to prove? I can give the website address to prove it's unfinished to a staff member.

Screenshots, website link, anything that proves your claim except your own words

I already said I'd prefer to not make the website public if not needed. What screenshots would you like me to provide? I gave screenshots of me paying him and of him not responding.
Again, I apologize- I feel like I'm misunderstanding something here- is there a specific bit of proof that I didn't provide?

I figured out what I was missing. I'm retarded- I forgot to put screenshot imgur link in original post. https://imgur.com/a/vZiDk

Uh- can someone look at this? I added the proof.

Paying a member $270 with low rep is a little silly, hopefully he gets what he deserves. Seems like a legit case.

I don't see any proof.
1. Provide that it's his skype
2. Are there any HF PM's?
EDIT: Just checked the thread, it's his Skype.
I don't know why you should go first to a stranger and not use a middleman. Be dangerous when dealing with members in here. He also has 2 matching IPS right now.

I know, I should have. But nothing I can do now. User has contacted me saying he had wifi problems, but has not contacted me since then.
* - beyondandthrough - Jun 20, 2017
Can I get any help on this?
* - beyondandthrough - Jun 24, 2017
He is still updating his thread! Can an admin/mod please step in here? @punk55
* - Gh0sT`` - Jun 26, 2017
Need more proof on this thread :)

Op contacted me to build a site for him - and sent the web files - otherwise why would he have sent me money?
I admit there are two features I haven't implemented but that's all. I had told him that I wasn't feeling well for a couple of weeks but I also told I would finish up on those remaining features.
So this is more of a misunderstanding.
