Update On Someone Paid Me $2,500 in April And Forgot...

[Newchanka]

Someone that is not a member of this forum saw my service and hired me to write some articles since April. I charged him $4000 and asked for $3000 advance. He paid the advance of $2,500, but has since vanished. I'm putting up this post in case he forgot he gave someone $2,500. If you know someone that paid someone for a job and forgot the person, please let them know I'm the one. As in, can't imagine someone throwing away their money just like that.
I also hope he sees this post and remembers.


Edit: Some people don't believe my story. That's not atypical of Bitcointalk. Anyways, I do not care if you believe it or not. For those of you that have given me some advice, you're all appreciated. Hopefully, my client will be back. I really pray he comes back because men like him come by very rarely. As in, men who have trust in a weird harsh, near-trustless world. For those hoping for a TXID, keep hoping, but that's not gonna happen.

I've written to the company. Hopefully, if he's working with them they'll respond. Thanks all.

Last year, someone sent me some unexpected funds and I posted it here. Some folks say I'm sort of hunting for merits and reputation (whatever that means) for these posts. In other words, that I claim people sent funds when no one did. Anyway, those seem to be mainly people who live in Bitcointalk.

In the interest of objective people, I'll explain what happened last year. An exchange contacted me to publish an article for them on my site. It seems that the contact didn't know when the finance chap sent me the funds and for days, I didn't know the source of the crypto. Later, perhaps weeks later, the initial contact sent me an email and notified me that they had paid for my service. Here is a link to a snapshot of the email: https://imgur.com/a/okUotWi


I'll keep updating this thread until my $2.5k client shows up.

Update:

No response from the company yet. I'll give them a couple of weeks before sending another email. Meanwhile, I want this before a lot of people. Who knows...

Doing this will just make you a target of impersonator claiming for this money. You can use the wallet address that he use to send the funds on searching the owner because he might posted that address on social media or here in the forum.

Don't disclosed the wallet address and always ask for signed message for the user that will claim the money.

[Despairo]

If the employer didn't even remember he had sent money to you, it mean that's amount doesn't bother him. He's the one who contact you, so he will not forget about your contact and where he contact you. If you're a good guy you can hold until he comeback, but if the employer never contact you anymore, you have a choice to use it or not.

Don't disclosed the wallet address and always ask for signed message for the user that will claim the money.

Disclosing the wallet address only leak privacy, but there's no other problem because if @OP ask to sign a message, there's no way for the impersonator to reach the address except they know the seed phrase.

It's certainly good that you're trying to show an act of justice, but in your place it would be better to shut up and take the money))

[_act_]

You do not need to stress yourself, just wait for the person to contact you. Do not spend the money. If you have waited for some many months or a year and the person has not contacted you, I think the money has become yours.

I saw something this on this forum this year or so and this is another one. I wonder how some people can do something like that, or a way to look for someone to scam.

I have seen some people that started scam like this before and requesting very small amount in a way to scam anyone that is trying to help. I hope this is not like that.

Expect some impersonators to message you, I hope you have ways to recognize your client you don't have to post this all you have to do is send him a message on the platform you communicated like telegram or his account here or an email but if you cannot reach him and since this is already posted and this is to show that you have the intention of giving back the excess amount, then better lock this thread now, I don't think he is throwing away that money, maybe he is busy and God forbid something bad could have happened to him, we never know until he reaches out to you.

What kind of justice you are offering in your advice? This is not fare because someone hired him and also paid him advance so OP has responsibility to do something so that he might search out the client.

I don't know OP why you are too late to post an announcement regarding this. Though it's not a duty for you but it would be better if you try to search out your client in April. Anyway It's been too late and there is a less chance that you might search your client. Have you got the client from Services section? Then there maybe a possibility to find out that guy. And obviously sign a message if someone contact you and claim it.

[Mpamaegbu]

Oh, no! You just opened up yourself for evil ones to come up with claims they're the one. I hope you've a way to sieve that, anyway. Do let the forum know once those who will masquerade themselves as the right person come up (they will come) so we can take appropriate sanctions on them.

By the way, has the thought of the person you're looking for passing on occurred to you? It's a possibility too. We're in a perilous time and news of death aren't scarce any more.

[Adbitco]

I think that person should have a various way to be contacted why not chat that person on his or her social medias handle. I believe if his work was fully delivered he would definitely come for a balance since the task aren't completed and besides you may receive some random messages claiming they are the one who did such task for you. Maybe sometimes you wouldn't make it that open because in every platform we have some people who always clones people username name to claim what they aren't.

Edit..

I never knew it was op who did the task and hasn't got paid completely.
sorry for my bad

But OP you started the same thread a few weeks ago. How do I find a Client that paid for A Job and Disappeared?. Is it still the same client?

Anyway, our life activities are not predictable. Maybe something happens to the client because nobody will want to waste such amount of money. Maybe health challenges or other uncertainties might be the reason for his disappearance. Maybe he can just show up at any time so ensure that you are through with the job.

Doing this will just make you a target of impersonator claiming for this money. You can use the wallet address that he use to send the funds on searching the owner because he might post that address on social media or here in the forum.

Your counsel is good but he said the person is not a member of the forum which means he might not be located in the forum. But it will be difficult to locate the owner except if he had posted the address on any platform.

[noorman0]

What article did he ask you to work on? I don't think it's difficult to identify your client if he is promoting a specific brand where you have to research in detail at the start of the deal, you know the relevant company you should contact first but with some sensitive information kept private.

The spending is quite large if this money is taken from the company's marketing allocations, I'm not sure even the wealthy would forget this if they had good financial records.

If someone get scammed like this, he's really naive because there's no exchange or wallet which demand more than $2,500 for minimum amount to withdraw. If it's about fee to transfer, it don't make sense too because you use Bitcoin too which automatically deduct your total holdings when you make a transaction.

The spending is quite large if this money is taken from the company's marketing allocations, I'm not sure even the wealthy would forget this if they had good financial records.

That guy must be a millionaire, ordinary citizen can only accept to lose for $50-$100 without any problem.

[yahoo62278]

You wrote the articles correct? Do you not know the business the articles were for? How did they contact you? They must have given you some sort of contact information when they asked you for your services.

You may need to have a disclaimer for unclaimed work or something.

The articles were for a popular blockchain company. Do I just contact the company and ask if they ordered for some articles?

Oh, no! You just opened up yourself for evil ones to come up with claims they're the one. I hope you've a way to sieve that, anyway. Do let the forum know once those who will masquerade themselves as the right person come up (they will come) so we can take appropriate sanctions on them.

Some are already inbox. No, I don't think he's gone. He really needed the articled in 4 weeks. I was the one that insisted it wasn't possible. Apparently, he had just the 4 weeks. What baffles me is why he's been offline since then. Went through his on-chain transactions and they're quite large. That's why I wondered if he forgot this.

[CryptSafe]

OP for your employer to have been this silent for long does not connotes any good. Definitely there must be something wrong because I see no reason why some one would pay such amount for services and yet is no where to be found but I would advise you to follow the councel of yahoo62278 to try reaching out to the organization for which you wrote the article for and see if you could get any tangible response from them.
Nevertheless, you making this thread have exposed you to impersonators and possibly scammers who would come in for you. I opine that you be careful and thread with caution as you deal and responds to message via your DM. Scammers are everywhere which I believe you know.

This looks fishy in my eye, but I'm sorry to say this, because I can remember you O.P made a similar post like this on September 18th 2022 (i.e 9 months ago) about someone sending you some coin into your exchange wallet address of which you were yet to discover who that was Someone Sent Me Some Coins, Could Be A Mistake, of which before I go further I will love to ask some few questions as follows,
1. Where you able to see the person who sent you the coin deposited on your exchange wallet on September 18th last year? Yes or No
2. If the answer to the first question is "NO" then what did you do with the fund?
3. What kind of website do you run, because if it is a crypto investment websites then you are likely to be getting such deposit once in a while.

[Fiatless]

OP you have created these two similar threads before this one.
How do I find a Client that paid for A Job and Disappeared?
Someone Sent Me Some Coins, Could Be A Mistake

Is it a coincidence or what? Why are your clients always disappearing leaving funds? Maybe you are always fortunate? Or you are carrying out a survey?

[JollyGood]

The OP has a history of account trading therefore dismiss the nonsense he is posting. Do not believe anything the OP is claiming because he is attention-seeking.

He probably thinks that by making up false stories and narratives he would receive merits but his irresponsible conduct can be traced back to his first post in the forum under this "Newchanka" account:

Don't disclosed the wallet address and always ask for signed message for the user that will claim the money.

He can always verify the real sender by asking to provide the txid and the wallet address use for that transaction by private message. And if those people cannot provide any proof then we conclude that they are just trolling and trying their luck to fool OP then maybe to get the amount mentioned by him.

@OP since the client is missing and if you don't like to use that money maybe set aside that funds and wait for him to contact you again. If he's still not coming back after few months then maybe that's the best time that you can use the money. You already made an effort to reach him out but nothing happen so take an action with the funds since maybe he's not coming back for that.

Yeah, I remember that issue and its quite different from this because I wasn't expecting the payment. That was actually a business that wanted to guest post on my site. Apparently, the chap that made the payment didn't communicate the fellow that would send the article for their backlink posting. She contacted me weeks later with the TXID. This is quite different because this guy paid and hasn't collected his job for months.
