User hawks9i8 asked advanced payment but no work has done.
Then he asked another direct payment and also nothing.
After many support tickets the website didn't want to refund nothing because advanced payments are not in the rules,
Conclusion: no protection for honest people.
Waste of time, money and health
My opinion is negative for the website that don't protect users from scammers and must provide an exthended protection for advanced payments.
