To any freelance writers out there, look out for a guy who goes by the name of Hassan Ali. I was contacted by him after applying for work on an online job board. But, the tricky thing is that he didn't even give me his name or anything. I only found out his name once he paid me for my first week of work through PayPal.
I proceeded to work for a second week and turned in what was about $70 worth of work. Not a whole lot of money but I had earned it. After not paying me on the scheduled day of payment, which was on Sunday the 1st, I contacted him to figure out what was going on, as well as to ask when I'll receive my next assignments. No answer. The next day, I contact again. No answer. By Thursday, I've still heard nothing. Now, I'm starting to get angry and rightfully so. I contact him, telling him that he's cheating me out of my money and threatened to file a report like this against him.
That's when, two days later, he contacts me, giving me some vague explanation about how there's something wrong with his PayPal account. This is why he hasn't been able to pay me and hasn't given me any further assignments. I'm willing to be reasonable, even though, upon second thought, his explanation doesn't make much sense at all. Even if he did have some mysterious problem on PayPal that took almost a week to correct, why wasn't he more forthcoming about it?
However, I bite the bullet and wait some more. He says it should be corrected in a day or two. After two more days, nothing happens. I contact him, asking him what's going on with the payment. Still, no answer. Friday the 13th is when I send him another e-mail, officially quitting the job, telling him it's because of this terrible lack of communication (and his habit of simply not responding to e-mails has been happening since the beginning) and because I don't trust him anymore. Two weeks later, I have still not been paid for my hard work and I have lost two weeks' worth of money due to his negligence.
Whatever operation is occurring under Hassan Ali's name is a scam, even though he insisted that it wasn't when I told him right out that I felt scammed out of my money. If it's not a scam, then he's a terribly irresponsible employer who you shouldn't work for. Again, he's not likely to give his name, so look out for the e-mail addresses listed in this report.
