OP, I don't think a reputed member like him would even think of scamming people for $15 (IMO, not even for a thousand times the alleged amount

). I mean, common let's be serious here, and next time do your assigned job properly so that your future employer will want to give you extra, instead of stopping your payment

.
The thing is, your thinking isn't mature enough yet. People can scam for $1 too. This person is an obvious scammer. Regarding job, you do not need to teach me something you have no idea of. And I can see you too have a neutral trust, another bootlicker? He is not a reputed member, more like a shitty member.
And the thing is not about $5 only. He used to cut every single week.
