Hey,
I do freelance work at scriptlance, and have an issue and was wondering what you guys think can/I should do.
I recently had a job that I won for the sum of $3750 for a certain script. The agreement was for 50% of viewing a demo and 50% after he recieves and verifies it.
Everything seemed to go fine, yesterday he sent me the first 50% ($1875) via SCRIPTLANCE's payment system (not escrow, real payment, as in I could of withdrawn it into paypal or any other method if I had wanted to once I recieved it).
This is the email I recieved:
I blocked out his account name as not to reveal who he is.
Anyways, I send him the script, and then about 40 minutes after I sent it to him yesterday, I get another email saying:
So I wonder hmm he only sent $381 instead of the whole 50%, so I email him back.
Today when I got home, I got an email from scriptlance saying:
And I get on my scriptlance account and of course find that they have subtracted the amount of money that I previously recieved.
Now, my question is this:
Shouldn't scriptlance of verified the money was legit before even having it enter their system?
Thus, isnt it their mistake and thus they should provide me the money, because all my hard work has just gone to waste.
I believe that it was their fault they didnt check if it was legit beforehand, and thus they should provide me compensation.
Please let me know what everyone thinks about this, and what everyone thinks I should do about it...
Thank you,
Feras

The funds you received from the user **** have been reversed due to fraudulent credit card use. It's possible it's a mistake, in that case tell them to contact me to resolve this.
