I've been doing business with him and talking to him on and off for about half of a year now and I know he's not a scammer. We've become like best friends almost and he isn't that type of person.
I haven't talked to him since the dates you mentioned and I have no idea what happened to him, but I'm 110% sure that his intentions were not to scam you. I literally talk to this guy every day, well before he disappeared around the 15th or so.
I have money tied up in him as well, but I'm confident that he'll come back around soon.
I'm guessing that something happened to him or maybe a death in his family, I'm not entirely sure.
But I know he's a stand up guy.
But...
Me too. I've also done business with the guy and talked with him over the phone the day he vanished. I notice that the last day he posted was the last day I talked to him.
Something happened. Not sure exactly what - but something. He calls out of the blue sometimes just to shoot-the-shit. Haven't heard a thing for a couple of days.
The guy does amazing work and he's cool as hell. He's become a friend as well as my go-to-guy for design work.
I will say this though, he's definitely not a scammer - and I'm pretty paranoid about being burned. He over-delivers.
Hope he's okay.
Thank you both for your support, it does not go unnoticed. I really do appreciate it, and can't say thank you enough.
