> as unthinkable as it is, some indididuals will contract you for work they never intended to oay for from the start It happened to my company (for a work I had no involvement with). At a certain point they explicitly said they won't pay ("I knew it was too high, but I needed to get things fast"). When threatened of legal action, they immediately had their lawyer send a letter accusing us of scam with ~40 pointless complaints and threatening legal action. At that point, they had the advantage of initiative. Some people just don't care about fairness, they know that the big fish eats the smaller and act accordingly. That's to say: if you think they are doing this serially as their modus operandi, act first or just leave them alone. I still don't have any clue of the final outcome.
