Den Miller
Asked for 5 articles to be written at 3 $ each. Articles were sent, and Mr Miller responded that payment would be made soon. Payment was never made. Writer has been emailing Mr Miller to ask about payment for 7 months. Twice Mr Miller wrote back, telling the writer that payment would be made soon, and asking the writer to do more work in the meantime (which the writer did not do). No contact for 2 months. Owes 15$.

I am sure that Den Miller is also Den Shad, or Den_Shad06@yahoo.com
He owes me 72 dollars; is not willing to pay 'before articles are checked with copyscape' but always wants you to do more...you think you are stacking cash, but you are not.
Makes excuses about payment, says that he might have to send a Western Union..
My personal reccomendation is that in cases like this you give them 2 weeks notice that they pay or you reserve the right to sell the articles on and publish them as you please. Ie, without payment you own the articles not them!
You futher advise them that any unauthorised use of the article by them will result in breach of copyright and legal action.
If you want to be polite about it so as to gain more work from them..don't bother! Do you want to work for someone who behaves like this?
I personally do not do any further work until I have rec'd full payment for work already sent. The sooner I am paid, the sooner I get back to work.
If you value yourself and your talent, don't be walked over. There is a ton of work out there and the market is growing.

This person will take your work, offer you more, and be perfectly friendly until you start to demand payment. Do not take work from him! If more of us unite together we can stop these scammers from ever getting started!
Creative Blogger - your ideas are very good, and they are ideas that we can all benefit from. One of the main problems is that no lawyers or courts will deal with small amounts of money. Often times people ask why we accept projects for 10 or 15 dollars - well some of us do so because adding up small jobs is the only way we can make a living right now! so it is tough to get our money because scammers know that there is nothing we can do.
All we can do is unite! Keep sending names and keep commenting if you've had an experience. And check this blog regularly!
Everyone that sebds articles out for payment needs to read my site on how to protect yourself. Article Scammers at http://articlescammers.blogspot.com
If you follow the steps, you will still be sole owner of your articles.
