do you have his bank account details? A lot of fraudulent guys now hide under writing jobs to scam people. Do you have the original conversation between the 2 of you where he agreed to pay whatever you charged for the job? I can bet you he has collected money for the job but finding it difficult to give you your due.

amikedi:

Yes all the chats are intact. They now come in guise of paying after two weeks so that one can accumulate jobs for them,so that they can run off with good amount of money.

Below is the chat for payment and I have his bank details

amikedi:


He long collected the money because I saw him exchange dollars the other day but have refused to pay me. People should just avoid jobs that pay schedule is more than few days. One even told me he or she pays at the end of the month and you begin to wonder why such a long duration, if it isn't to scam the writer.

Babacele:
put together a good petition and I ll tell you where to forward it when you pm me. This na financial fraud and we should help Nigeria rid of these scammers.

Premiumwriter:
Wonder why these igbo guys are so bent on defrauding hardworking people.


I have 2 or 3 of them like that on my list. As a rule now, I avoid working with them as much as possible

Babacele:
he is wicked and shouldn't be spared. call out his nairaland ID to come defend himself or not. Don't back out please.

These are the kind of stories you want to hear and will not ask questions as to what prompted it. Did she tell you we've been dealing before now and i paid her for those?? I will soon attend to this when i am chanced.

sirevee:


No bro, I least expected you to be part of this. You are not new to the industry yourself and I think you should try as much as you can to ask questions from both parties and not coming here to say all these. In case you dont know, there are quite some of them here claiming to be writers that are sincerely not worth calling one. My biggest issue here was to have done the most of the needed corections myself and paying those writers still. As for the op, I definitely will attend to her case later on this platform later today.

Babacele:
nope this kind of stories sap my energy but won't keep quiet if scammers ain't leaving us and our country image in peace. it is very simple ,come here and defend yourself. We are waiting

amikedi:


Dealing before how?!? The one time you paid I had to message you for over a week before you paid. I wish I had listen to my instinct not to write for you again. See your response as if you are doing me a favour by paying me. Oga it is my right pay me.

This is the chat below of asking you severally for the first money. So I'm so waiting for your response.

So it took me a week to pay you after the first project kindly upload the chats time and dates to confirm this..

amikedi:


Yes, do I have to upload all the chats on Maryland you have the chats with you, so check them. Pay me it is my right.

sirevee:



Well, it is as simple as this. This lady contacted me that she was interested in my job posting, I told the terms and conditions of the job which she trusted me not to play games with her. After completing the first batch of jobs, I told her the client had complaints about the job having some errors which weren't supposed to be. She claimed she wasn't a native writer and couldn't be perfect. I corrected her jokingly that she wasn't supposed to say that as a professional and that if such things happened, it could lead to losing clients. She agreed to fix the job, which she did and considering that I was stuck in-between tons of projects and tasks, I submitted the job directly to the client without reading through thoroughly. (During this time, I had a paid her for the first batch of jobs she did). The client once again claimed that the errors were still pending and he was becoming more impatient.

Actually, I was recommended to this client by an age-long independent client from Skype that I was working for initially and the client happens to pay me via Pay Pal. To prove that he wanted me to trust him, the client paid upfront for the jobs but made me promise not to deliver half-baked jobs, stating that he needed me to continue the same streak I had with his friend. I assured him that and he was evidently pleased with the first contents that I delivered ( it was actually done by I and some other trusted writers). However, considering that the job rate was becoming massive, I had to seek help from outsourcing the jobs to other writers from nairaland. Initially, this lady started out well, and I commended her for it ( she posted screenshots of the commendations with her other handle; Blazing123). For that reason, I resonated to not thoroughly reading her jobs and delivered to the client with probably some fixes from me and everything was going on well, but later on, she started dwindling in the quality of jobs delivered. I complained to her ( as aforementioned) but there were seemingly no improvements ( as explained by the client) and to make matters worst, the client requested for a chargeback( Paypal holdings) on Paypal and thus, I couldn't do anything with the account until the dispute was resolved. I had to take it upon myself to fix those jobs and resend back to the client. If you are familiar with pay pal, you'll know it takes weeks, and at most 70 days + for a charge back to be completed before you can continue transaction. These were some of the explanations I gave to this lady but she refused to understand that. Worst still, she started placing curses on herself(not me) and then I told specifically that I wouldn't reply her messages again until I fixed the issues on ground.

sirevee:


Oh, so you can't upload the chats time but you have the heart to lie about the duration of time, alongside with screenshots? It's alright.


I'm done replying you on this platform as well. I think the others can read and will see the best way to handle this.

What are you on about, didn't you tell me it wasn't about limitations that you would pay me. Below are the jobs plus 4k e-book words.

sirevee:



Please... if you don't know about things, please ask... Did I ever say that the account was limited? Please Read... I am begging you.. Read through, this time, gently.

Which writer doesn't revise a job when a client point out errors. I revised the job, didn't I?and we had moved from that to payment. You are now saying you want to pay in 2 weeks time and have refused to State the day. Oga replying me now or not, pay me.

Babacele:
did you tell her that her job was substandard as at the time? I'm in the industry too ,so you aint talking to a novice. .....after 2 months?

amikedi:
This is your chat today, you have been exchanging money on nairaland and have refused to pay me.

CC Divepen1

amikedi:


It's not about any substandard job bro. He knows he is lying he has been posting me since I will pay today, I will pay tomorrow now he is saying he wants to pay me in 2 weeks time I should pull the post. I asked him for the specific day he refused to reply. When it comes to payment there's always long stories. Come and tell the forum exact day you will pay me and case close

Premiumwriter:
actually I didn't attack you in the post.

I'm actually talking about the igbo boys. If you can go back through my post, I can bet you, you won't see any tribal attacks.

I hate that with all my heart. But I think igbo are really something else this days.

Something is happening and you guys need to rethink. As someone once posted, something is wrong somewhere and I think it's not with Nigeria but with the success mentality in the east.

sirevee:



I have only made one exchange since that day and it was 30$ which I only used for checking out a new account. I've since not done any other transaction after then.

Even if I did, I would rather pay others that are long due and not pay you other people's money. I sincerely mean this.

amikedi:


Nope, this is the amount you withdrew after I start asking for my money. Which you refused to pay me

sirevee:


Smiles. I will address this post to correct you not because I want to prove anything.


When a dispute is raised, you have 10 days to reply to it. Since my dealings with PayPal, I have never for once had a chargeback or had any dispute raise ( my funds are not shady), although I have had a limited account before now.

For this reason, I contacted a friend that was more versatile with Pay Pal and he assured me that once I and to respond to the PayPal dispute and reached out a solution with the client, I didn't have to worry as my funds were safe. I wasn't so sure then and I thought it was something that would get fixed immediately the jobs were delivered and the client was okay with the jobs. It wasn't until later that i got to know that it extended far more than that. I told you i had a friend that would help with the fixes which you later misunderstood as me saying my friend caused the funds to be held.

Like I said, until the funds are cleared, I am not paying a dime.
