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.
