Beware of contractors outsourcing your projects (AppMechanic, Paramjot)

Personally, I don’t see how this makes him a scammer automatically? You negotiated with the person and came to a deal meaning both parties agreeing to what they are getting and for what price (Both are happy with the terms and conditions). Did he not deliver on your deal? From the information provided above it sounds like you’re only unhappy now because you found out you can actually get it for a cheaper price, but isn’t that how all retail businesses work in general?

People normally have their sources where they can get something for cheaper and sell at a higher price for profit, so it sounds like the person is only doing something that is standard practice in business. All businessmen do the same thing to be perfectly honest. I don’t think outsourcing in itself is considered to be a scam.

So my point is, what makes you feel like it’s a scam other than that? Did he suddenly change the price after both of you agreed? Did he not deliver on what he promised, etc?

Well this is mostly to make others aware of the issue. I had been asked by a few other forum members to post this who also worked for him.
Secondly my code which I had asked him to write was written by 2 developers(Obviously both hired by him and both were really different. When I am paying the same programmer to do the task, I want the code to be uniform not something unworkable after that.

And when I tried to approaching him, his upwork profile has been banned and I couldn’t hire him. The exact one he is advertising. No other programmer wanted to work on the mess that was left and I had to start the work from scratch.

So yes although the thing itself is not scamming, its still against upwork policy since he is not referring himself as a company. And not the current business practice to delete every post on forum rather than admitting what he is exactly doing.
