Scammer freelancer and refund

Hello,

On July 16, 2023, we agreed with a freelancer for my fixed-price project.

 

Even though 8 months have passed, they could not deliver the application I wanted to me without any problems.

 

The application is not working.

 

However, I trusted them and made the payment in advance.

 

After receiving the payment in full and closing the project, they stopped being interested in the project.

 

This is a complete fraud. I even sent a tip in addition to the payment I made. But I just want my payment back. please look into this and check out the app they say is complete and see how buggy and useless it is.

 

Moreover, it was made with a different software than the software language I specified in the project.

 

They completely lied to me and took my money.

 

Please refund my money. Otherwise I will go to a lawyer about this.

Thank you!
