Warning to writers about customer Hr

Normally I don't do this, but I think this "customer" is pretty slick and ready to rip off writers here at CC. I responded to a request for articles by customer Hr, whose name is "Valera." This person put out a request for 30,000 words/week for a set price which was reasonable. Large volume. Wanted a "test article". It was short, like 200 words. Since the person was responsive I did it (my mistake) and then this person's budget "suddenly" vanishes. Wants something like $0.01 per word or something.

I made a huge mistake doing this "test" article for the person. Don't fall for the bait and switch. I guess Lysis was right about pools and requests. I've seen others posted where the customer basically wants free work. Seems like it's getting worse. Anyway, if anyone is thinking of picking up this project, this is what you can expect.

Yeah anyone who wants 30k words a week has no budget.
