I sent her an email saying that I'm sorry that she's having a bad time and that I pray everything gets better and that I'm sure she's going to do the right thing and pay me cause she has paid before. That was at least a week ago and I never received a response. Which I'm sure would happen if I tried to pm her.
Be careful with this poster. It's not only the fact I have not gotten paid, that is a biggy, but the major thing is no contact. At one time during the project she could be contacted by im, email, and by phone and promptly respond. And then all of a sudden, it's like she doesn't exist. At least that's how it was for me.
You should never have to get to the point where you're threatening to expose someone to their clients for nonpayment when everything could be easily taken care of with a little contact and a dish of honesty. The client who obviously does not know who I am will get a spreadsheet of work that was partly done by me, pay her and I will receive nothing.
After a while, I didn't care about the money. It was the fact that I worked tirelessly, and for hours (was told I did a great job) then to get devalued and lied to by someone from our own community.
But anyway, just be careful. Many independent businesses on here post for help and do not have any sort of agreements that are signed. So make sure they are trustworthy.

Thanks for the heads-up TinaLynn. I thought about checking into this, but I think I'll pass. I pray you get your money and this issue resolved soon. Sorry, you had to go through all of this just to get paid.
