I read the topic
New Year's Pig ... and decided to describe my situation. It will be a question that the advance payment does not guarantee 100% of payment.

One day, my employee and good friend
Doomer Samoiloff suggested that I take part in a very interesting project: an online store website written in flash and using streaming video / audio to communicate with merchants and customers. This nontrivial task arose two years ago, but so far I have not seen any analogues of this functional.

So, the client promises good money, and the student needs experience. I agreed. I was not even embarrassed that the client asked to sign a contract, although there were a couple of suspicious items that he changed at my insistence.
Work has begun to boil, the FMS server has been configured, the code has been tested, alpha has been prepared. It should be noted that the site was hosted on the customer's server, because we simply could not afford our own FMS at that time.
The customer, looking at such a successful promotion of the project, asks to find another translator (site in French) and gives 50% to each of us. Fortunately there was no limit, because the fee was very decent at that time ($ 500 for a beginner for 2 weeks part-time). And we started the second part.
Then the fun began. As it moves towards the end of the project, the client sends comments for revision, and more and more every day. We are simply torn apart, but in the end, with an incredible effort, we finish off the latter and demand payment. And here the customer disappears. Just like that, without "thank you" and a twinge of conscience.
There is an ordinary kidalovo. It was a shame, but I made my conclusions. The customer's name was Yevgeny Ivanov (Skype: eugene202000), he had a friend, Sanzhar Kadyrbekov (skype: sanzhar.kadyrbekov). If someone worked or works for them, I recommend to be extremely vigilant.
PS: I have his American SSN, what would you advise to do? =))
PPS: please be indulgent. My first own topic (zero is not counted, missed the rules)
