Latest update on being scammed: Scroll down until you see the title in bold.
I posted this in a reply, but thought that I would make it a post, so everyone can see it…and know the straight dope, on how I got scammed
Sorry guys, issues with the developer…I really can’t go into at this time, fingers crossed everything works out…if not I will have to hire another guy…it will happen, but I can’t definitively say when, I have been looking at some live chat and forum plugins, I might try, if they work, it will at least give the ability to chat and hangout, until the developer does his shit, I’ll do my best, I tried implementing a donation page tonight, they make it look so simple in tutorial…but, again, I’m a slacker, I really only like creating content, not deciphering technical shit…it will all happen, I hope you all stick around for it…it will be crazy freaky cool chatting and shit!!! I really said shit a lot there, didn’t I?
Ok, I am going to give you the straight dope on the whole instant chat, forum debacle of getting scammed. If nothing else, it will make for an interesting read, I may turn it into a soap opera, or at least a Netflix limited series lol.
Also at this point, all I can do is laugh about it, as you know, I have decided to just be happy, no matter the circumstance. At this point I am beyond really caring about it. So the bottom line is, I think I got scammed. I’m not 100% sure yet, maybe 95%, but still hold out a glimmer of hope. Which after you read this you will probably snuff out.
Ok, now I want to work on my puzzle…it makes me happy…Stay tuned, or not. I read the comments about leaving and finding another site, I think you totally should! I’m sure there are much better slacker sites out there than this, in fact I would be really shocked if there weren’t lol.
I will continue to post dumb shit, as it makes me happy. And if I did get scammed, I will get someone else to do it, or scam me, again lol.
I’m a slacker, I really don’t care…I’ll write more about it tomorrow, maybe…I don’t do plans…I just do whatever the fuck I want!!!! But I am evolving…I think
So as expected, I was totally scammed…they were supposed to refund the money by March the 10th, the 10th has came and gone. I don’t even get a response from one of the developers, who, actually did absolutely nothing.
The other one actually tries to blame it on me! that I got scammed! His arguments actually made me laugh. I said, “so how much money did you lose on this deal again?” “right, you lost nothing”, “I lost over a grand”, “oh right, it’s in your pocket, now I see where you be coming from dude, of course it’s totally my fault, that I got scammed, I stupidly listened to you.”
I told him he is very good at what he does, and congratulated him on a job well done. His only reply was, ok, lol.
I’m so over it now, even the embarrassment of it all, and my naivete. But I am The Evolving Slacker, I do dumb shit like this on regular basis lol, and somehow everything seems to work out ok, I’m not sure why, and I don’t want to pry, I don’t want to jinx it :).
I really don’t feel like going into it all right now. I will at some point. But I have a really nice developer working on the site…shit be coming, in the coming weeks.
So I’ve been in touch with a really nice developer from Calgary, and she has done up a very detailed quote for me. I found out about them, from someone on this site, not sure if they want to be named, so I won’t right now, but you will all know soon enough.
I wanted to accept right away, but after just being scammed for almost 1200 dollars. I decided to get some quotes from actual local developers in Vancouver. You know the kind, the one’s you can actually physically meet :), But I really like the one in Calgary, and I am doubting the ones in Vancouver, will beat her quote.
we be notoriously expensive here, for a variety of reasons, especially the scenery. I think a closet goes for a little over 2 mil, lol.
I will continue to tell the details of going down the rabbit hole of the scam. They were very good at it. at least it gives me a lot of material for posts. Maybe I will make it like a series, and write a post about it once a week :).
Latest update on being scammed
So, the developer from Calgary disappeared, and just so you know, she was recommended to me by a user on here named Tiffany. I stupidly trusted her, as I often do, so now to date I have been scammed out of around 2 grand. Just to get someone to implement a live chat.
Now I have to find another developer, and this time he’s going to have to be right beside me before anything happens.
I really don’t care about the 2 grand anymore, I have thrown away more on dumber things.
So hopefully, at some point, live chat will be realized. But this is a slacker page…so anything could happen.
I got side tracked, as I usually do. And spent the last couple of hours looking at pictures of Vancouver. You know when you see the perfect one, and you think. Oh, I’ll come back for it, and then you can never find it. That’s what I did lol.
But it’s hard to find a bad picture of Vancouver. It is surrounded by water, and beaches, and mountains. This one is at sunset it says.
Maybe I will do a full post on Vancouver, in one pic, I could actually see the building I live in!!! Anyway, will write more on the soap opera of getting scammed. It would really make a good limited series on Netflix I think, lol. Later slackers.
As much as we had complained earlier, this has made me feel so bad 1200 lost just like that??
No worries Monica, don’t feel bad, I be over it now…Thanks to Tiffany, I have a brand new developer! So hopefully, we will soon see some majorly awesome changes, up in this here beatch!!! I have no idea why I am trying to sound all gangsta rap lol…I guess it must have be…because I just felt like it 🙂
You have been scammed?? OMG dude how do you know you have been scammed yet you said the developer is helping, can’t judge though, can I refer you to someone?? she’s a woman though I know guys don’t like women handling technical jobs for them but you can consider her she’s good at what she does and I can boost you by helping in payment just little amount and you handle the rest and that will be my DONATION for this. Reach me directly through (tiffanysasha121@gmail.com) OR her through (carolthithi004@gmail.com) whoever you choose to reach out to.
Worth considering, even the chat system implemented isn’t working lol 🙂
If she can do it then @evolvingslacker should go with this recommendation it doesn’t matter if she is a woman lol
Thanks for the recommendation Tiffany, if I have to I will look into it, like I said in the post, I am 95% sure I have been, but am still holding out that 5% hope :), I don’t think I will talk about the details until I know for sure. And thank you for offering to help with financing it, that is very kind of you, but that is completely not necessary, I’m not saying I’m rich or anything lol, but I am a slacker, who is able to do whatever I want, so I must be doing something right :), if I did get scammed, it is not the end of the world, I am thinking the next developer I hire is going to be local, so I can actually physically meet him/her. But that you again, you are very generous and kind 🙂
Oh, and that chat that is on the side bar, is just something I am trying to implement, but like I have said, many times before, I have no fucking idea what I’m doing lol.
I’m with you on this so don’t feel embarrassed by me helping in financing it
Hey Tiffany thanks again for all your help, it’s much appreciated, I replied to your recommendation. let you know what happens, if I really did get scammed, which I won’t know for a couple of weeks, I will definitely consider her, but still do like the idea of having a local developer, that I can have actual face to face meetings with to discuss things, but we’ll see. Thanks again!! and remember…just have fun 🙂
🙂 🙂
Guys why are you so bitter and you have the choice and freedom to visit other sites? 🙂
🙂 🙂 total joke don’t blame it on the developer it’s your responsibility to keep the developer on check period!!
Time wasting at it’s best I think I will try finding another slacker’s site I’m sure there must be several..guys what do you think.
Makes sense lol 🙂
Hey guys, it has never been implemented?? I’m back after attempting to make some comments long ago and found the site messy lol
I think Tiffany you are right, we should try some other slackers’ sites we have waited for the forum and live chat for long what is the developer’s issue did you pay him or her @evolvingslacker???
Why do you want to hire another developer, explain to us what’s happening b’coz I think if you were really in need of this it would have been ready by now!!! We are just asking for the Live chat or maybe we visit other sites!!!!
