Haha I thought this was a how to guide initially as a "good entrepreneur" mind you good to me is subjective, or is it personal. Money is money right? I can't ask my clients to pay me so I obvs don't support that.

Nice into the rabbit hole though, should see how bad it gets with VMs.

Are you saying you're a scammer? I'm having a hard time understanding this comment

    No I'm not a scammer. I can't even ask my clients to pay me. Most recently these people got a big SEO audit pdf and I'm the poor bastard that has to do it for no pay hahaha. They're like "alright so... all these urls and how the db/pages work? Rewrite them..." and I'm pretty sure I'd break a good part of it, just because of how expansive the site is. (I'll decline at least on this part as it's beyond me, like being asked to integrate a PayPal recurring API payment thing)

    Nah they're like my second best client ever but it's still I don't get paid hourly/"a reasonable fixed price" so no in short form, I have no self respect.

    I was scammed once (at least), it was a site that said "Sell your ideas for money!" hahaha, I "sold my ideas" For a non-refundable fee of $99 and this also overdrew my bank account.

    ^^ That reinforces my original thought, I could build a similar "legit looking site" throw a payment system on there and get some poor schmuck like myself to fall for it and pay. Good job on me who built that site for say $17.00 and some time.

    edit: I was scammed by this lady (beat up looking face) and this guy, her "son" or whatever... they were asking for gas but insisted I give it to them in cash (at the gas station). Yeah I'm pretty stupid.

      I see, i commiserate. I got stiffed for a months work by a recent freelance client, i empathize. I'm sorry if I slighted you, guess I read the wrong thing out of your comment.

      I hope you don't get scammed in the future.
