How I got cheated my two months salary $2600 during covid-19 period by a Turkish person.

During this lockdown period, i had got an offer of software development from a Turkish person. I have told him my experience and he chooses myself for his work. I started my work at 26th march 2020 and work continuing during 26th May.

While i got the offer from the person i told him to send me a NDA , he told me we are new company we will send you once the current situation get over. He stated my salary as basic $1500 per month and Extra if i work more.

Atleast 6 hours a day i had worked for him and he was quite happy on work on me. When the first month over, he told he have no money as the covid-19 period going. He stated that he will pay once he get credit from bank. I was waiting and working as before.

One day he told me my fund will be transferred soon he got the credit. I said thanks to him. But the sad part is after completion of three of his apps he disconnected me from the messaging Chanel. He is not responding yet.

The person is from Turkey , I have all of his places names original photos and everything for identifying and contact. Can i get any chance to trace to him and get my salary back.

Any Turkish developer community, who can help me to achieve my salary.

I'm sorry you had to face a scammer, even more in a hard period like this one. But you made a lot of poor choices, that i suggest you to avoid next time:

• never accept a work without anything signed, that become more and more fundamental as the salary gets bigger.
• milestones, milestones, milestones. Never choose to have a single big payout at work done, set goals and rewards in a timely manner(weekly or bi-weekly), anything can go wrong during a cycle of development (personal issue, requirements change, etc).
• trust people but not that much. Once he didn't pay and started mailing excuses, the first time it was expected to pay you, you should have stopped ASAP any work.

Good luck and i Hope you find a way to have your money back.
