I might as well get in my two cents worth!
I hired a feelancer on GAF to do a classifieds script. Their bid promised a completion time of 30 days. I had paid one half up front and put the other half in escrow. After 180 days and still not complete I cancelled the project and then had to fight with GAF for another 3 weeks to get my money in escrow back again. Of course I never did get back the money I paid up front.

But then again, you really can't trust anybody. I paid two different guys right here on V7 to populate a forum with 500 posts. The first one, 'Short81', made 6 posts and disappeared. The second one, 'ThreeGuineaWatch' made 22 posts and disappeared.

Fool me once,... shame on you! Fool me twice,... shame on me! It won't happen a third time.
