Mikeod is correct - these scammers are slick as greased lightning. There is a pretty simple cure, one which way too many of us ignore - DON'T PAY IN ADVANCE! If they have not been paid, they will return and return and return until they get the work done to you satisfaction and you pay them their money. Paying them in advance is an open invitation for them to take your money and run, do slipshod work (what can you do about it - they've already been paid), or blow you off on customer support (why bother - they already have your money). Part with your money only when you are satisfied - never before. If they can't live with that, maybe it is a good idea to find someone else who can.
