Only Got Paid After Calling Them On Their Bullcrap
This company reached out to me to create content for advertisers. We signed an agreement that included content and payment details stating payment would be sent within 30 days of the final document. Well, 30 days later and I hadn't even been asked for my payment information. So I sent my payment information. Not even a response. Emailed them again and weeks later got an email saying "you'll receive payment in a few days." Well it is been over a week since that email so I'm fully convinced this entire company is a scam and they steal content from small creators.
-Update: After another email, (this time I called them out and said I will not stay silent) I immediately received payment. No apology, just an "our team works very hard around the clock to keep our creators a top priority."
