I'm probly going to get flamed for this but I feel it is necessary to expose 
the fact that this guy Vince is not always on the up and up and anyone 
considering hiring better check with some of his recent clients. Also consider 
covering your backside when you make payment and use a credit card so you can 
chargeback if your deal goes bad.

After being hired to do some bug fixes by a buddy of mine Vince invoiced him 
for 6 hours of work fixing a bug. Now I will admit his work should have been 
validated prior to payment but my buddy is a very trusting person and figured 
based on Vince's claims about his experience that working with him should not 
be a problem. So Vince was paid via check for his time. Then when he was asked 
to deliver the code for the bug fix that he was hired to take care of he 
started coming up with these different excuses about the task he was to work 
on. After it was said and done Vince never produced one line of code and 
finally admitted he was unable to reproduce the bug, so he got paid for 
"getting familiar with the code" as he puts it.

So the question is will Vince give back the money or will he honor his 
agreement with his client and fix the bug? He is $150 richer for just looking 
at some code and doing nothing...
