Will do work for cheap (just got scammed AGAIN!)

[mp.Designs]

Ok. This is a great forum, and its been a while. But, due to certain circumstances, I now have to practically beg for work. Over the summer, i got scammed for 600 bucks. I thought i would learn my lesson. So i was makin a site for a guy, and I asked for a downpayment, and he said no. I was a little alarmed, but decided to do it anyway. I made the site, showed him the jpg preview, and he liked it. He really wanted to get it finished. So today, i was like, ok, lets get it done. And then he said, why do you work? Just for money? And i was like, umm, yes, that would be why i work. I have to support myself. So then he said, i dont want to work with you, and im not gonna pay you. Then he logged out. There went another 100 bucks.
So, i bring my plea to you. I really really need work. I dont care if its the most boring thing, i need a job. I can do HTML, CSS, XML, some php, some Jscript, Actionscript, and design work.
I'll work for really cheap rates, AS LONG AS I CAN GET A DOWNPAYMENT.
I know that its kind of weird, but i know that some of you need a template sliced and coded, or have 10 pages to be filled with content. I would be forever greatfull if you could provide me with anything, 15 bucks would be great.
Thanks again,
Mith

Do you have an example of any past work?

Here's some advice for you - always try to watermark demos (although I know it's hard for HTML sites), and never ever give out any source files without having been paid for it first.

at that point, you should have walked away.. They should pay half up front, and half upon completion of the project, especially if its hundreds of dollars or more..

sorry, i cant help you know, but i'll keep you in mind if anything should arise...
