This has to be the first or second ever negative feedback i have ever given to a provider and pains me to do so, but this guy really burned me and he cost me almost 700 USD and all i got in return was a drop down menu. and a log in window. 
He was hired to integrate a drag and drop fucntionality and I made it very very clear about the requirement and he said he would do it in 8-12 hours. I spent 40+hours on this with the project going no where. At this point i told him that i could not afford keep on paying him 13 USD while there seem to be no progress. He told me that he would finish it off line for the same 40+ hours already billed. So, he promised me he would finish the task and I paid him in full. After that, another week goes by and I had to chase him through emails and messages, with no results. At this point I realized that he had the money and i had no recurse ! I hired another provider From Smart Data for 8 USD an hour, who did the job in less than 20 hours and very successfully. He may be good for regular basic applications but if your project is a little more demanding, do not LISTEN TO THIS GUY, AS HE, LIKE MANY OTHERS, TELL YOU THEY ARE THE "BEST" BUT WILL not DELIVER. i AM SO VERY DISAPPOINTED AS i SPENT A GOOD CHUNK OF MY BUDGET AND A WHOLE MONTH OF TIME WAS WASTED ON THIS GUY. Being patient, respectful and understanding. will not take you anywhere either :(

WARNING!!!! THIS GUY HAS RIPPED ME OFF AND SCAMMED ME OUT OF MONEY!!

I hired him under good faith that my job - see description - would be completed within a week. To be honest I would have been happy if it had gone a little over, but basicly I got nothing at all!

Communications were extremly poor, I practically had to beg for updates, but he was clever and ensured he always logged into the Odesk tracking tool and visited web pages related to the kind of work required so it is almost impossible to get my money back.

I paid $487 over the week, and at the end of it he told me he was unable to complete the work..... thats it!! I asked him for a refund of the money and he said no as he had been researching how to do the work so I should pay for it! I should pay for him to learn how to code!!?? Really???

I have kept the job open for some time in an effort to resolve the money issue, but cannot wait any longer. You can see from my job lists I have had this work done elsewhere and happily paid for a good job which is being done.

I would not normally go into this much detail, but I feel others should know about these scammers. I would even be happy to show anyone my communications with the guy and screenshots of his work if you would like clarification of this.

Odesk should do more to look after genuine customers from this sort of thing.
