I have also become a victim of the notorious Craig Davs. I have translated three English files (10000 words) into German for him. The promised cheque did never arrive. I learned about scams by him only afterwards, when I foun his name in Pro Z postings. Is there no means to get hold of him?

As tough as it is, I suggest to follow "take your losses early and profits late" investment rule.

So unless you can play hide-and-seek with this scammer without investing great amounts of your time and money, then just take the loss and consider it a valuable lesson for future.

However, I do suggest to make a police report, so authorities would get to know about this kind of scam.
