Great idea! Someone can actually make some money doing this.
You can think of the following revenue streams:
- Charge the fraudster businesses to be taken off the list of shame. - Auction the solutions on the site - etc etc
Any other ideas?

*Subject:* Re: [Skunkworks] Need advice
wow, i thought it was my PR or something that was wrong and clients go AWOL on me when i ask for a commitment fee kumbe it's the MO!! The most hilarious one was my own primary school! they needed an accounting system. i assumed they wouldn't think of skipping on me because, come on? my own primary school! now i'm singing a different song. And another client who we met at a prominent restaurant along loita street and had a heavy business lunch as we did requirements gathering on a bulk sms website he wanted and supposedly wanted it "as soon as yesterday!". we left and he told us not to worry over the bill eti "we should go and start coding". later that week i went to the joint and the ka dude waiter still had the bill waiting for me to pick! the client has since been in "Kuwait" and will "communicate ASAP!" and "We should go on building the site he will pay us a lump sum fee plus bonus!" The Sheer Nerve! Maybe we should start a List of Shame of Companies/Individiuals who skip on you when you ask for some down payment! Including details of what made them skip so that other devs can be wary of them? -- regards, S.N.Maina ExtremeGrafixDesign Ltd. www.creativepitome.com steve@creativepitome.com P.O BOX 193 Ngong Hills +254726489,+254771461638
