I was a long time member at the site vBulletin Setup. When I first started going there, everything was decent the owner Brandon Shelly was helpful and courteous to us members. Then everything started to go bad.
I logged in one day and all my helpful posts had been removed resulting in a loss of back links and revenue, but I wasn't banned or limited on the forums just my posts gone like that.
I then hired the owner to do some work on my site, upgrade vBulletin, move it to a new location and server, optimise my settings and install a few modifications.
All this was suppose to be done between Nov 1st and Nov 15th, during this time I sent a 300 deposit for the work to be completed, which was approx half of what we agreed. After 7 days with nothing getting done i was getting nervous and he said that he was working on everything on a private server, so I said okay thats fine and he showed me the work.
I've attempted to contact him 4 times after that with no luck, and no refund has been issued. It appears I'm out of my money and time lost for this project.
I have screen shots of conversations over MSN and private messages as well as my receipt for payment. Be careful when hiring this guy for your service.
