I may be getting ripped off

[adiakritos]

So I created a blog for this guy by taking a PDF design he provided and splicing it up.

I photoshopped a whole bunch of pictures, created customized sections... basically my mentor who's a professional web designer had a look at it and said it was worth at least 1000.

When I told him the client wasn't happy he was kind of baffled. So now, the client said he wanted to get back to me when he was ready and knew exactly what he wanted.

His issue is that he doesn't know what he wants even though I created the design he asked for, and actually made it look better than the design.

Now, I don't know how long he's going to take to get back to me if ever. It only make sense to get paid for what I've done so far.

So I invoice him. No response. I wait 2 days. Send him a reminder email. No response. I'm a bit worried he's simply ignoring me.

The site is on one of his own servers and I heard that I could get sued if I delete my delivered project while having it saved on my local drive until he pays up...

Any suggestions for this situation?

I know that in the future I'm going to ask for at least half up front from people I don't trust or know. It sucks we live in a world where people do these kinds of things.
