I never imagined I would be scammed when I first contacted Muhammad Hamza from Codesterra (https://codesterra.com/) for a WordPress signature generator project. After finding him on Codester (https://www.codester.com/Codem485), I reached out via WhatsApp (+92 309 3131323) and explained my specific requirements: no APIs or third-party integrations. He agreed to these terms, so I made an upfront payment of 7,500 PKR, trusting that he would deliver what I needed.
To my shock, when the project was “completed,” all the main features were iframed and embedded from third-party sources. I had explicitly asked for a custom-built solution without APIs, but instead, Hamza took shortcuts. When I questioned how I would modify these features in the future, Hamza insisted it was impossible without using APIs, which contradicted his initial agreement.
I quickly realized I had been scammed, and despite my requests, he refused to refund the money. I have the payment proof, the iframes, and API documentation as evidence of his fraudulent work.
I’m sharing my story to expose Muhammad Hamza and Codesterra. They are scammers in the software industry, providing subpar solutions while promising custom work. Be warned—don’t fall for their false promises.
The best part is that the same script is sold on codester by another user too: click here
