Fraud VISHAL <Removed> India Source Automation

[MCM1971]

I was the victim of a fraud by VISHAL <Removed>, from India who has a Paypal account. The company supposedly called Source Automation producer has made me work in a project for them during a week and after delivery they are not answering my messages anymore. They disappeared. And I even paid a security deposit of $50 to his PayPal account which was going to be given back after the work was delivered. Has anybody been victim of the same crime?
