Freelancer scammed on me K M *Edited*

[00d6726c]

Hi,

I am rather new on upwork and a freelancer requested us money for an API and he extended permanently the deadline and missed the appointment.

Finally we closed the contract and we are unable to get the API (i supposed never been done).

and at least refund a part of our money. This freelancer lied all the time and post a negative feedback about our company. We got after 3 month a poor front end page for 800 USD.

What I can do to stop this scammer?

The name of the freelancer is 

K M **Edited for Community Guidelines**

based in bangladesh...

Thanks
