This company (AHN) is headed by W. Jeffrey Brown, who hired me via Scriptlance back in year for writing scraper/spider/crawler code in PERL Language.
The technical lead at that time was Todd Wade ([email protected]), to whom I usually report the work done.
W. Jeffrey Brown sent me first payment on time, via Western Union (I do have receipt, the amount was USD$250.00), but for a month long period they did not paid me the amount which was USD $1788.00. [total billable hours 149 @ USD $12.00]
When I start asking about clearing my dues, W. Jeffrey Brown and Todd Wade slower their responses, finally I got heard from Todd Wade (at Saturday, July 23 2:53: 03 AM), informing me that some piece of code was not of product use, so they will pay lesser than USD $1788.00, I agreed upon that.
Sent several emails to W. Jeffrey Brown, even called him several times, left several voice messages, but no response. W Jeffrey Brown in the start (Thursday, August 04 12:06: 53 AM) informed me that AHN pays amount in 30 days of invoice, now its 2008 and still no payment from them.
I do have all the email based communication that were made between me and AHN.
Can anyone help me to get the hard earned amount?
Waiting for any response.
Regards,
-Ahmed.
