What happened:: This website is scam and it's so obvious, but what happened today for us is a different story,
Yesterday some guy on cryptogrind offered a project, so I started negotiating with him to examine his project and see if we can accept his project,
So when we continued talking, he repeatedly changed his project's spec and needs and we end up with a 1 day simple project to generate random numbers for roulette game, based on provably fair algorithm and in python programming language,
He also claimed to be from USA in his project details, which is strange, because of the way he was speaking.
But I accepted his project at the end as we can't simply reject projects due to unproved suspicions,
So the usual work happened and one of our programmers accepted working on his project, and we ended up with a first mockup,
I showed him the mockup, and he insisted to pay sooner, which was also strange because we didn't yet finish his project,
He asked for an address to send bitcoins, we generated one for them, but he claimed that he reached his limit in blockchain.info and he can't send any bitcoins, but he can instead give money on traderbrite, I searched for the website and didn't find anything on google, he gave me the address and asked me to signup there, and I did.
After that, I tried to withdraw bitcoins, but I got a warning "You can't withdraw amount less than ... btc", so I asked him to send some more bitcoins there so I can withdraw, because beside the fact that I don't have direct access to my team's assets, I also didn't trust the website, he said "sorry I don't have ... btc on my account, but you can deposit more btc there so you can withdraw", and I didn't for sure! Fortunately we didn't give him the code, but it was a 8 hours waste of time for us dealing with that guy.
Unfortunately I don't have my telegram chat to send screenshots here, but looking at his website reveals all the truth I think.
