Gotta scout bud and learn to read between the lines, I'm a legitimate dev but my time is consumed to the point where I am working around the clock right now, recently declined someone's offer of 1.5k for a GPU Aimbot, because I have better irons in the fire right now and for the amount of work required, my quote was 10-20k (and I mentioned multiple times it was depending on multiple factors), with a retainer of 15%-25% upfront.
In saying this, I also said that he could expect up to 250% for a commercialised version. It also depends on the country origin, if the user is in a third world country, you can assume that their knowledge base is that of someone who learned fast to earn fast, introducing vital flaws such as security exploits, unoptimized code and an abhorrent lack of commentary. It is unfortunate but the reality is, this is the impact their economy has on their programmers.
If you look at say, John Wick and myself, you'll notice we have very similar traits that are highly noticeable.
We speak fluent English (despite native language) at graduate levels, we can demonstrate our skillsets with ease when requested, we have previous projects we can demonstrate if requested, we don't dance around questions, but we also aren't wasting our time for questions that are obvious and most important, a legitimate developer will know at least 3-5 different programming languages fluently, I myself am above 15 languages by now (some I don't count as I'm not fluent in them).
If the "developer" is pushing you towards payments, dancing around the questions asked, trying to take the deal off site, then it is highly probable that they are a machete scripter, reseller, nubcake etc. The more you ask about their product, their knowledge, the less they can answer and of course, if they're offering you a cheap product or service, it's cheap for a reason.
I hope some of my information mentioned, helps you find a legitimate developer.
