This thread refers to the user MikeK, Michael Kane from DesignerFreaks.com / Inlip Designs ~ accepts paypal payments from the email account: [email protected]
Just as a note, I would appreciate if the other threads about MikeK were reopened and are visible/findable in the search, as it is pretty obvious the type of personal we are dealing with now.
Yeap, pretty ironic how I was defending him no more than a couple weeks ago and now this. I paid him on the 12th, in full, to do a flash intro. He originally told me it would be a day or two to get it done. Great, No problem.
On the second day he told me he needed another day, that's okay, no biggie.
Then next day he told me he needed a couple more days as he was "rendering" something and he needed a bit more time. That's fine, do a good job.
I didn't message him again til Saturday night just to give him the full amount of time he needed and when I did, he told me he was putting finishing touches on the work and I would have it in my inbox by morning. Well, the morning came, so did the after noon and the evening and still nothing. I get ahold of him Sunday night and he tells me he is emailing me over the files. I say fine, go to sleep. When I get up today, I check, nothing is there.
I have tried pming him, emailing him, calling him, texting him with no response.
Not only do I feel like a asshole for defending him against DomainFatigue [sent you a apology, btw, I now see what you were dealing with, truly am sorry], but because I paid him in advance as I thought he had just the slightest bit of respect here being a Verified, Exclusive member with feedback.
Now, I know he is going to come in here when he can scrape back my money or actually finish the project I paid him for and try to make me look like the idiot here, as he did to DomainFatigue, but I am convinced he is just a plain ol' liar and schemer and SHOULD NOT be trusted.
Btw, I just checked and the paypal he is using is registered to a Cathy Cooper, the email address is [email protected] ~ so obviously he is either underaged using Mommy's account or his own Paypal account has been suspended.
Also, I can't do a dispute as I was being a nice guy and sent as a gift so he wouldn't incur any fee's.
The amount is only $100.00, but just imagine, if he is willing to ruin his reputation for $100, what makes you think he will not rip you off for a lot more?
I have to pay a client back at of my own pocket now, which is fine, that is the risk I took with this kid, but the worst part of the situation is the time lost dealing with a very unprofessional, immature, child.
Could of let my ego get in the way and not post this, but definitely isn't right. I want everyone to be aware of the type of personal Michael Kane is and I would like to again, apologize to DomainFatigue for taking MikeK's side instead of him.
