I was originally contacted by Donald Osmund through Upwork.com. 

He contacted me via Skype 5/25/18 and asked for an hour of quality assurance work for his website at $40 an hour.

I worked for an hour, validated all sections of his site that were able to be verified, and sent him a report of the issues I found.

He called it "ridiculous" and started sending over insults and refused to pay me.

This is a straight up con and this man should not be trusted.

You should quit while you're behind.

Your attempt at spinning yourself into the victim role is sad, but not a bad strategy, I applaud the effort.

It's clear from the start you intended to stiff me on the money. 

Thankfully Ripoff Report exists to expose people like you. 

You got scared and came crawling back pretending it was all a misunderstanding. Previous to that, you'd scammed me out of the money and blocked me on everything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can take all the threats and stick them in your ear. 

We're done here. 

Thanks again Ripoff Report! You brought another scammer to justice!

At the end of the day, you are the scammer here!

Let's face it! You came yesterday to state that if we give you money, you'll delete all the charged commentary you wrote about us on Ripoff Report. That's the textbook definition of extortion which I believe you're aware is illegal.

You obtained the amount twice and have since refused to return it. Honest, non-scamming people don't act this way. You cannot rob someone and then cry wolf at the same time, proclaiming you're being scammed. You're not the victim here, we are. And your messages to us (attached) shows that extortion was always your intention. From the start, when you took the task, extortion was the goal for you and we saw through it, that's why your work was rejected which made you start screaming all sorts of names before we'd have the chance to get to it. Well done, I guess.

You're bitter and angry with the world and I don't think it's something $40 or $80 will solve

For someone who doesn't speak English as their primary language, I can understand the inability to understand the nuiances of the langauge.  

I happily work with all my clients based on their feedback and input. I've done this for years. Instead, you chose to berate me and make inflammatory remarks and refuse payment.

To be clear, your expectations were ridiculous: Start a project with zero information, figure out how to use the site, then find bugs and create a report document -- in an hour. I told you from the start my hourly rate and that your site would take longer than an hour to get through. 

You tried to scam me and refuse payment until I came here, then you starting playing nice. Save the highroad nonsense for someone who cares.

The irony

I am a QA contractor. You contacted me on Upwork, then through Skype to do work for you. I have never seen your product. I told you from the start, my fee is $40 an hour. I learned about the product and tested as much as I could get done in one hour. Anything beyond one hour would have been more money. That's how contracting works.

I pride myself in communication and have great relationships with my clients. I have many, many positive reviews. You came to me begging for help, I helped you by providing QA work at an hourly rate, for one hour. You then chose to spit in my face. Calling me ridiculous and other inflammatory remarks.

As ironic as it is, after scamming me, you sent me back double the payment. As I said, I'll send back the additional money. $40 means nothing to me. The fact that you're out here preying on people online to do work for free is why I reported you. You came crawling back sniffling when you saw that I posted on this site. Thank you Ripoff Report. You've made one more scammer known to the world and found resolution to an issue I thought would have no answer.

You're still crying wolf and seeing the wrong Irony

No one is preying on you for $40, the issue is one and one only- work was not done as specified. 

The only thing we stated and continue to state is that we did not accpet your work, especially after I have looked at the communication regarding same, where you complained you were not able to log in. As we querried your inability to log in, all of a sudden you to announced that you've finished without being able to log in. Whereas, your tasks was to be completed after you long in. This may not have been your best work, following remediation rules would've sufficed.

You have an unusual form of anxiety that make you see things that arent there.

Now you hold our own $40 for almost a day and we haven't filed a ripoff report calling you a criminal. I hope you see an difference in approach and thought process here

More update after investigation

We have more information on your issue and verified that you interacted with one of our staff members.

We gave you a testing task to complete and the result you submitted was very substandard which is why it was rejected for revision which you refused to comply. We needed you to follow instructions and resubmit it, which made you very sad and irritable.

However, we sent you $40 twice today in an error and you have refused to return the extra $40 which explains your character, and the words you have used to in your report are very descriptive of you because you think just as you are.

If you came here and described that we rejected your work without all the name calling, maybe that would be sufficient without slandering and character assassination attempts.

Your engagement with us was not useful to us for the 45 minutes or hour. And you've falsefully obtainbed $80. Hopefully, you'll find peace and work.

Hello "employee of Seedbearer" aka Donald Osmund. Give me a break.

I've got the documented messages from Donald on Skype:

Nice try though.

Good luck scamming others now that people know you're a fraud!

I'm Newman and I'm an employee of Seedbearer, the pesrson who has filed this false report did not include any information that would identify them. Our ceo does not personally hire anyone for $40 which is what this write has stated. If this post is not from a competition, then it is from a malicious actor.

We have multiple account managers and it is unclear if this individual interacted with any account manager nor did any $40 work as they allege. This is a false report and I hope there'll be away from stopping malicious people from trying to tarnish the reputation of others with unnecessary name calling and victimization.
