I agree. You should look only for members with at least 200 posts and have been her longer.
As for the money, maybe next time you don't pay them until they do the job. Half up front, and half when they are finish.

In addition, I suggest doing a WHT search for posters who respond to your ads in the advertisements forums. Doing this gives you a chance to see what people are like before hiring them, and to see if anyone has complained about them before. It works the other way too -- when I see ads that I want to respond to, I first do a search for the poster to see if s/he is the kind of person I'd want to work with.

Sure thats a good suggestion

I second indiaberry's suggestion to pay half up front and the other half when the job is done. The person you hire is taking some risk too in that s/he might do the work and then not get paid. Paying half at the beginning and half at the end splits the risk between the two parties.

If he hasn't responded to you by now, just let it go, you'll never see the money again. This is the danger you get into when you do business over the internet, and, especially with individuals from here. While, it's sad, it's historically true that in a place like this, people will congregate simply to scam you. This is why (or one of the reasons why) the statement saying tha tthey have no responsibility over this exists, because they don't.
Tips when doing this kind of stuff in the future:
-- Always research. Not just posts, but the user themselves.
-- If it's a LARGE project, half first is not a bad idea. For small, well, all first is going to be required usually, unfortunately.
-- ALWAYS check things such as testimonials and the like
-- Post count means nothing. Take a look @ how long the user has actually been registered, and stay away from those who have been registered less than 6 months to a year. This will pretty much ensure you choose someone quality.
-- Take a look at their previous posts, do they seem familliar with what you're doing here? If so, then maybe they are. If not, then, obviously you need to either reconsider hiring them or test them somehow.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire
