  • Dear Ex-Client

    Dear Ex-Client,

    I'd like to take a moment to "thank you" for your "business". And by "business" I mean the absolutely painful process of trying to get an idea of what you wanted, and then the second I make a mockup, the fact that you rang me up hourly for updates.

    I appreciate the fact that you did at least pay 60% of the cost of the website. However, the whole reneging on the deal AFTER the site was completed, and refusing to pay the 40% was not kosher. I'm "sorry" PayPal shut down the first two disputes you tried to get on the payments. The second set of temporary holds you put...well...it might work better next time if you don't claim to be hacked from the same IP you made the original dispute from....within 10 minutes. Also, PayPal wishes to speak with you later about the fact that you spammed the disputes with 5,000 comments in under 2 minutes. While yes, you flooded my inbox....those were Paypal's servers. Not a smart move. =/

    I'd also like to address the fact that you sent me 35,000 spam email "presents" with a bomb program. While I appreciate your attempt to show me that you really love me, I hope you in turn appreciate the automatic forwarding I did for 16.7k of those to your personal email. Just wanted to reflect your love back a bit. It was thoughtful of you.

    I'd also like to thank you for leaving a trail so wide, that Oregon would be floored. I appreciate the opportunity to get your name, your home address, your parent's name, their business where you work for them....and their phone number. Turns out, Skype has great rates for calling internationally.

    I hope you can understand why, although this business relationship has been fun, and I enjoyed laughing at your "hacking" attempts, I have to go. There are others who need me, and I will always have fond memories of the time you said "wtf did you do to my email, thats not nice." I just hope you keep my reply fresh in your mind as well.....

    "Owned."

          One of the few times where I actually had fun with a sucky client, to be sure, lol. Been so many lately, it was good to finally give one some comeuppance.

            Please tell me you got to keep the 60% payment, as well. That would be like the cherry on the top of this beautiful comeuppance cake.

                While there are many reasons why this post is awesome, I believe special "props" (as I believe you young folks say) should be given for using a reference to Oregon Trail. Bravo!

                      Yes, that's why I have a lovely non-refundable deposit clause in my agreement, which every customer gets. Any time someone brings that up and tries to dispute a deposit, all I have to do is show it to Paypal, and bam, I get it decided in my favor. I've only actually refunded two deposits, but both were when I hadn't started work, and the clients were very polite about it.

                            For extra special fun, you might be able to forward his information to the police along with evidence of his attempted hacking, spamming and other computer crimes. Still, getting most of the money and having the right to tell him to go to hell might be reward enough.

                              Already have, and from what I'm looking at...."cyberterrorism" crimes in the UK carry a minimum of 10 years banned from computer usage.

                              I also found out that he'd hit a hosting company with a cyberattack for a MONTH. We're sharing notes -- turns out they also have a police report they filed. All of their customers who he cut off service to are also quite peeved....and looking into filing police reports.

                              I'd say the proverbial fecal matter has hit the air redirection system for my ex-client!
