Obviously, nothing justifies taking 6 months to investigate your case, when a person creates a company or has been in business for many years, that person, due to experience, is able to know the origin and solution of certain problems just by listening to them or reading about them. I'm sure you're not the first to have this problem, and I'm sure they've already dealt with a problem like yours, so it's obvious that just by reporting this problem, their team should already know the origin and solution. of the problem. so it is not acceptable that they come to say absurd things like up to 6 months to investigate
So with that we see something else, which is to use the up to 6 months to investigate as a way to gain time to spend many months without paying you and with that also not being accused of a scam. this for me is the most acceptable theory, but as you said they said they would give you some news on the 4th, I'm guessing they are referring to this 4th, the 5th and July, so wait until the 4th, but if it passes 4th and they don't pay you so you have to create a thread in the scam accusation section and create a flag against them
