I got ripped off (again). I'm going against citigroup. Terrell Cope is not going to pay me, so I need to get his contact info to save $$$ on collections agency fees.

How can I get it?

His email address is terrell.cope@citigroup.com

May have a daughter named Lindsay:

Are you on meds?


The thing with the daughter is uncalled for.

Garrett,

No offense man but you are wasting your time. Even if they do get contacted from a firm, they will just plead ignorance and use one of the other million "tree components" out there. In practice you have no way to protect your IP under these circumstances. You just won't be taken seriously.

If the component was revolutionary then fair enough, but it's not.

Even if you put an offenders list on the front of your web page, it would just drive away new sales if they thought you were going to be pedantic about specifics. Stuff like this is based on good will. E-mail the guy nicely, and if he ignores you then that's pretty much it.

**** them!!!

They're paying me.

Citigroup rep (or so he claimed) was on the phone w/me today with me with his big co. Attitude.

I wanted to tell him to come here IN PERSON to see who's bigger: DHTML Kitchen or CItigroup I bit my tounge.

I put on some slayer & pantera real loud and then went to my gym.

Anyway, Citigroup is on my banned customer list. They can buy dhtml elsewhere.

My comment about the girl was dead on. Caveat: buyer beware.

I go out of my way to make sure my customers are happy, but when I get reamed by these big companies... Well, I don't take kindly to being treated like that.

If you feel that strongly about it and have everything documented, file a small claim.

But to be fair, I shouldn't say "ripped off". They never said they wouldn't pay, they just haven't. Almost 5 months now...

eh...i think terrell is a woman...not a man...
quote from that url u posted: "Lindsay is John and Terrell Cope's only child."

and tim's right...nothing you can do about it really...
unless you have any proof (signed contract, document, memo, etc) saying they will pay so much $$$ for your services/scripts...or anything that will stand in court..otherwise, even if u bring the case in front of the judge, you will lose if u can't prove they agreed to pay...

that's why you always make sure the client signs a contract for services rendered BEFORE you start any work or sell any scripts...

and please, no need to insult about a client's kids since that has no relevance in anyway to how you feel about ur client...

They agreed to pay long ago. We discussed terms and licensing in many emails.

Can't say I'm much impressed with the replies in this thread. Noone really answered the question. Could it be that noone gives a ****?

Yep, I guessed it...
