<prompt> Human: I made a purchase from a website developer for a website that ive been saving up for to build and start my own business. The price was 800 i paid him via zelle i logged into my bank of america account on zelle and paid him no problem. He tells me 7 days it will be completed. On the 8th day i email him and no response. Call him and no response. email him 3 more time after few more days and nothing.I have opened a dispute with bank of america over this. My question is will i get my 800 back? Im a in a really tough spot at the moment any help you guys can give could make me feel better or more relieved. Do you think bank of america will get me my money back? I heard wire transfer cant be chargedback  <response>: You can try. The worst theyll say is no.Going forward, never ever pay for 100 of costs like this up front. Pay a small percentage up front, then pay some more when you see the product, test it, and when the product is done, pay the remainder.I was in the exact same situation. I had an idea, hired a guy to build it. I paid him probably 10 up front. He sent me several email the first few days with updates but then communication stopped. After about a week of no answers to my emails or phone calls, I knew I was scammed. Luckily, I only lost something like 150.
