Explanation of the trade: Rsgoldmine rented backlink on my website for monthly fee of $50 for an SEO optimalisation of his store.
We had an agreement on payment to be made every 2 months. Payments were supposed to be made in upfront, in advance. Payment for May & June was not made, my messages are ignored for weeks. I've also sent an Sythe PM and contacted their support without action being taken on his end. Another billing cycle started on 1st July so in total we're missing payment for 4 months (May, June, July and August 2023)
How they scammed: Payment for backlink is missing.

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply, anyways $100 which was owed for May and June have been paid which was supposed to be an upfront payment so not sure how to 'Scam' upfront payments, Zuzel could have removed the link after the last paid cycle ended since I didn't reply after that. To make it worse the cycle continued after the report... to make it a $200 report adding $100 for another cycle which started the same day of the report.

Already spoke to Zuzel about it being my fault for not replying but since we were doing upfront payment he could have avoided this by simply removing the ad but didn't because he was also busy IRL.

So kind of the fault of us both.
