This reminds me of a story I have.
I went for 3 job interviews for a place here in Melbourne, on the third interview (preceeding the jobs was mine and a wraps, they just wanted to meet me one last time) they pulled out a laptop, took notes on all my changes I'd make to some of their sites.
The next day, they pulled the offer citing some "financial trouble" and a week later, made the exact 15 changes I'd reccommended on their site.
I felt like fucking killing them, but how am I to prove so or am I bitter?
It was a spec work "interview" in a way, don't do the work on promise or if you're starting out freelance don't design for "if my business takes off I'll cut you in" bullshit.
Fucken people.
