It doesn't hurt asking for advice from the domain community. We've all had to deal with incidents of that sort or another, at some point. People that'd stiff people on a business and personal level are bound to repeat it. They are socially trained to act with disregard of other human beings.
It's nice to be able to gain all the insight within this situation. I have been extremely blessed that so many people were willing to give me the feedback I needed to hear. Especially you Pink, it was very helpful.
Something I have learned from this ordeal, is there are a lot of people who'll bully you into what they want you to do but at the end of the day, you have to be just as tough and stand your ground. I had followed my gut not to do certain things and I ended up getting railroaded. I am now from this moment on, going to focus on making sure that my needs are met as well. I may look selfish and uncaring but as my guy friend stated, it's just business. I need to look at this from a business aspect not one of my personal.
I followed Pink's advice but I know that I am late in doing my research on this dude, but the number and such come up different than the name I am dealing with. While I will happily email individuals who are seeking to know who it is, I'll send you a pm and the name he gave me and such.
i need to just pick myself up and move on, quit feeling sorry that I was duped. Thank you all for your support in me.

P.S Onward, one word, keywords, city names and some lottery names. I went straight to the board, got a wee bit lucky. I love talking on the phone despite my lisp, so I think the people might feel sorry, so they buy to support the mongoloid, HAHA! 9had to get my humor in there to lighten it up)
