First off, I'm new here so I thought I'd ask a couple of questions before I place an ad.
I spent 2 months on a marketing project for a lighting company - during this time, I invoiced them for 2000 GBP. It's not been 6 months and they haven't paid, despite letters, phonecalls and threats of legal action.
Fortunately, I know that clients can be like this sometimes - so I created a seperate FTP account for myself that no-one at the company knows about.
The company in question brings in around £100000 from their ecommerce website- and has around 1000 visits per day. I'm guessing the right person can do a hell of a lot with this information.
I know it's quite unethical but they should have thought about that before they ripped me off.
Does anyone know where I would place an add for these details?

FTP access is logged logged logged to high-heaven.
If you haven't, do NOT access that FTP. You will be logged and potentially open your self up for prosecution; that is of course assuming you did not disable logging for this username you created.

I agree with the opinions expressed.
You can be found, is it worth it.
That being said, I know of people who put "time bombs" in their software just for this occasion.
Customer pays, they make a courtesy call, no harm done.
Customer doesn't pay, time bomb goes off, they call you, and pay up front ;)
Again still has legal issues to it, less likely to be found, quickly anyhow.

Not if the timebomb was just a simple coding mistake ;D
If they're running that amount of cash through the server you have access to and they haven't jailed their users, we'll they might deserve to get hit but you don't deserve to go to a real jail for it.

I remember my days on the warez scene there were .biz sites. These were usually put up by people inside the companies so I thought. I was on one that was hosted at Novell. Now I'm wondering if this is how these ftp sites popped up. Disgruntled repairmen...

I'm not even sure if this is allowed on here so as such this thread is being locked.
