Just my tuppence re: this little "misadventure"... If you were
contacted by the fellow through the list I would contact him again
and tell him that "if you don't receive a check from him in a
reasonable amount of time you will post "book and verse" about his
dealings with you and... NAME NAMES so as to protect your fellow
listers from being similarly ripped off... Maybe the threat of
public exposure and the resultant loss of business might shake the
money loose...
I'm sorry you were treated so poorly by this individual...
If he doen't come across with the money owed to you he'll probably
do the same to someone else... The best way to stop this abuse is
to let future "victims" know.
I'll go quietly now, officer
