I will never deal with Melissa DiGioia again

Some time ago I was looking for someone who could speak and record audio clips for me. I placed a job on an internet platform and Melissa DiGioia wanted to make the job. The usual way is "First work, then payment". Melissa asked me a day later if I could send her 50% of the money right now because she would really need the money. I did what she asked for and sent the money by Paypal. A week later Melissa let pass the arranged job deadline. One day, two days. A week. Two weeks. I sent a mail and asked what is going on. Melissa answered that she has no notebook to copy the recorded clips to her notebook (to send it from there online to me) because her notebook is broken. I asked her if she could not visit a friend to upload the clips from the friend's computer to my server because it is very urgent meanwhile for me to receive the clips. She answered that she has no friend with a computer. Then I asked her if I should send her money so that she could rent a laptop for a day. She said yes but the laptop could only be rent for a whole weekend. So I sent her again the money for the laptop by Paypal.

Do you think Melissa made her damned job after my second pre-payment? No! And my money did never come back. So it is a matter of course for me to spend this wonderful website to Melissa to express my deep thankfullness for learning my lesson "Never trust a stranger!"
