I found Daniel Buchanan's resume on a large job search website my company subscribes to. He had the right experience that I was looking for, which was a proposal writer for federal government agencey contracts. I contacted Mr. Buchanan and we discussed my requirements, which was to write two separate proposals for two large civilian agencies. We came to an agreement on price, which was $5,300.00. $2,800.00 for one and $2,500.00 for another. The agreement was for 50% down for each proposal. So, $2,650.00 at prior to writing the proposal and $2,650.00 directly after completion of each proposal. He had a deadline of 2/11 for one proposal and 2/18 for the other.
On 1/24, a wire transfer was made to his account in the amount of $2,600.00. The $50.00 was used to pay for the wire fee. Since that wire transfer was made, he has not since contacted me or my company. I have left countless emails, voice messages, etc.
He took my company's money and simply did nothing in return. That is theft by deception and I want to make sure this doesn't happen to another small busines.
