Contract Programmer WTF

I've done contract work through Guru.com in the past, and I still take a look around there from time to time. While looking through open projects, I'll sometimes visit a contractor's profile that was given bad reviews. This customer review was priceless:

In the end a truly dreadful, horrible experience. These people have left me up the creek without a paddle. If I were you, I would not deal with them...

The contractor in question is an Indian company with a listed minimum rate of $8.00/hour. Some verbatim copy from their profile, minus the company name:

1. Very good Communication Skill ...We are having well equipped office with excellent technical skilled team for the development of [Company Name] projects as well as on site software, webdevelopment and web designing projects...

Ummm, yeah. Eight dollars per hour? And they give such a great example of their communication prowess. Why would you ever hire someone like that?
