Possible, but he should at least reply. He did visit ATOT after I sent PM's.

yeah but the pm notifier thing in the corner really doesnt stand out

sure it does. you see part of the PM right there.

Yeah, you know you have a PM.

I never get pm's.. 🙁

I've done many logos and various graphics jobs for many different ATOT'ers over the years, usually for way under what I normally charge. I've never before had a problem, people usually pay up. I won't mention this guy's user name just yet, but he's been around here for a while. Did a logo for him for really cheap. The last PM I received from him was on 5/3 saying that he'd mail the check out tommorow. It's not the money that bothers me, it really wasn't much, but it was just the fact that the guy lied to me over this. I put in some real work for him as a favor, because I honestly charged him next to nothing.

I've sent him PM's and emails but have yet to hear a response.
He last visited on 5/10.

I guess I'm just disillusioned more than anything.

You didn't give him the artwork before getting paid did you? I would have watermarks all over it and mediocre JPG quality for previews. Get the real thing after I get the money.

Greetings of the season to you,

Do you accept payment in Nigerian funds? I forward look to pay you in May as mail here is slow to deliver I can wire you Western Union for my Fedex Account if you want. Picture I send you to believe me you for your photoshop services.

I urgently look forward to your reply.

I've got a logo with a Powerbook on it if you want it.

Aren't you a ATOT'er? 😉

Don't feel bad. Someone stiffed me with a bad scanner once on the FS forums. Hmm..

You screwed yourself over on that one buddy. And you're still on my Do Not Trade list. Both of you handled that little issue poorly.

I've done work here for many people over a long period of time and that was never necessary. If that does become necessary I'll just stop doing the work. I don't make money off the work I do here, usually it barely justifies the time involved, or it doesn't at all. I do stuff here more as a favor to community members than as a way to make money. There have been times when people emailed me through here and I did real jobs for them.

UPDATE: He PM'd me last night:

Him: did you get the check yet?
Me:You gotta be kidding me (and I linked this thread)

Today:
Him: i mailed the check WEEKS ago. you should've emailed me!!!!!!!!
Me: I did email you, and I PM'd you. I have never recieved the check.
I will update the thread and will be glad to be proven wrong if you indeed sent it out.
Him: what email address did you send it to? please tell me not the one in my profile, b/c i just checked it and thats from college, 4 years ago.
did you email me at my paypal email?

So it may have been a mistake all along, remains to be seen.

Okay, he said: im sorry man, i barely check that email. i created it just for AT but most people email me at ******@aol.com.

i appologize that you had to be the one who made me realize i have to change my email, but i will resend the check tonight.

i'm calling the bank to stop payment on the other check.

You should expose him just for the fact that he has an AOL e-mail address.

He didn't notice that the check never cleared?

Yeah, I hope it all turns out to be a misunderstanding.

So, who got your check?


Ask the sender if it has been cashed yet.

People mail checks? What's wrong w/ PayPal direct bank transfer? And I thought everybody has gmail as their primary email acct.
