Developerx11

[IdiotCoder]

What happened: I saw another scam accusation against Develperx11 taking money upfront and not delivering projects. He said he worked 20 hours a day and was very busy. He offered me a job and I attempted to compile a wallet and failed (I told him he didn't have to pay me for it). I also installed a web script and he said the client stopped responding when i successfully installed the script.

Amount Scammed: BTC0.01 + $100
Payment Method: Bitcoin

PM/Chat Logs: Will upload
Additional Notes: I know i should haved used escrow but he wanted me to start working on both jobs right away. They were small and he was offering me a lot of money considering the size. I wanted to see for myself if he really was busy or if he was a scammer. I figured it didn't take too long to send a payment.

Can you explain in a little more detail what exactly did you agree to do and did you actually do it? Your OP makes it sound like you failed. Also how do you know the person in the chat screenshot is Developerx11? His excuse in the other thread was that there was an impersonator so I hope you made it certain there is no impersonator in this case.

I agreed to do two things: compile a Linux wallet and install a gambling script on his client's server. I tried to compile the wallet but I got a bunch of error messages. He said he would pay me BTC0.01 for the attempt (will upload chat log soon). What I did do successfully was install a gambling script on his client's VPS. I uploaded the script and he said the client stopped responding after I did so. I never received the promised payment.

I know it is actually him because I was chatting with him on Discord because he sent me his handle to me via PM, and Discord doesn't use cell phone numbers the same way Telegram does.

Sorry for your loss but I don't understand why you continued to deal with and trust him even after another user here had already made a scam accusation against him. @Developerx11 seems to be so shady, I have read a couple of threads against him and he seems to be a real pain to both his customers and those that seek his services.

He said his Telegram was lost and he gave me his discord. I wanted to see for myself if he was a scammer or not.

Never accept that excuse he gives that he no longer uses telegram... that he switched to discord, bla bla blah
I think he is just trying to cover up his ugly past. On top of that he goes ahead and practices unprofessionally thru discord too.
So it's better to just keep off him and his services.

The important part here isn't the 0.01 BTC that he had promised to pay you for your attempt, because after all, you did fail to do the task. But he should have at least paid you what you have done successfully, as per your agreements.

This is why you never do work for someone without getting the payment upfront (unlikely since your reputation is quite low), or have funds secured in escrow. Otherwise, you may just be wasting your time. Also, have a written out, detailed contract every time you do work, which outlines the scope and limits of the work you'll be doing.

That way, if there are any disputes, you know that you have something to refer to, and the funds are still there in escrow to fall back on. There's still a slim chance this guy will pay you back, though I think it is unlikely.
