I posted up a "pixel artist wanted" ad on RPG Maker Forums and was contacted by a man named Joshua Astorian who claimed to be a professional pixel artist with years experience developing mobile titles.
He duped me into wiring him the cost of the work for hire project up front, $100 USD total, claiming he needed the money up front to help him pay for groceries and formula for his family (ha ha, I should have known something was up there). After that, I didn't hear form him again.
No work, no updates. Then I googled his name online and found that he has already taken advantage of other people on this site. Well, I'll try to make sure I'm the last.
I doubt his real name is Joshua Astorian, but if it is and he is foolish enough to use his real name to go and pick up money from the Western Union I'm sure they will have him on security cam. Off to jail with you buddy.
