Benscolari:
again, I never called you mediocre. You're a BADASS writer, agreed.
But you should know how the freelance world goes.
If it was that easy, why don't you register on freelancing platforms and get jobs, and do yourself...

So you admit that he worked for you yet you didn't pay him in full. Is this why you keep hiring and discarding writers?

inkon:
Why are you asking for the thread to be shut when you haven't paid me?

My money with you is about 12k, is that not worth considering?

Another one? What was the agreement you had with him?

LoJ:
This will be my last post on the topic. I don't know either of you, and I have never been to Nigeria all my life. When I judged the quality of his work you thought I was objective now I am biased!

Anyway, in business you win some and lose some. Reputation is everything in business and more than money. Your refusal to pay a ridiculous 15k or even negotiate to 10k shows that you are the exploitative type. When the writings are accepted and you make huge profits for works you do not do at all, you are happy.

NOW is the time to bear a loss. A great businessman would have pleaded with the guy to accept even 5k due to the circumstances and not the mumbo jumbo you are uttering. You don't understand business at all, and someday you may eventually learn the hard way.

This desire to always exploit others, all the wins for you and the losses to others is the typical Nigerian mentality you claim to disapprove.

Well said. He gets works from foreign clients and hires writers here for peanuts. Now to even pay a fraction of the peanuts is problem for him. Talk about a greedy and insincere person.

He's operating with a foreign upwork account, who knows how he came about the account. He collects jobs as a writer which he isn't, then sub-contracts the work. I doubt if he fills in his clients about this.

How can one person hire more than 30 different people to execute one type of project within a short period of time? It just doesn't make any sense, there has to be a reason why he doesn't call them back and go on to hire someone else. Either the issue is with them or with him, I'm suspecting the latter here.

@Benscolari. Even if a person you hire falls short of your expectations, you should have at least compensated him for his efforts. If you're the one that expended all that time and energy in getting a work done and the person that hires you (who'll be pocketing a greater percentage of the cash generated) refuses to pay you a dime, how will you feel?

It doesn't matter if your clients paid or not, you have been making thousands of dollars off foreign clients. So why is a paltry 5-10k too much for you to give someone that worked for you. If you had done that, this mess would have been averted.

Those are just a few out of many I could find...
I don't really get this.... How does such a low writer have such confidence?
I am a hiring agency, and this is as frustrating as it gets.

I must have missed this somehow. These are not active accounts save for the second one. Let's await their account on working with you.

Benscolari:
where do these people come out from?
Just where?
This guy did a job for me... In milestones (like I usually do)
I submitted the first part of the project to the client, and client went MIA, Kindly use Google to know about scam clients on Upwork and other freelance companies.. So I should pay you, when the client is UNRESPONSIVE, right?
Now if I wanted to scam you, I'll definitely ask you for the whole job right? Nigerians are something else.
Out of over 30 writers plus, only just you and that gifted mind of a guy..
Someone should call me out for a proper scam case not this infallible talks

Whatever happened between you and the client that contracted the work to you is none of the writer's business. Agreement is agreement

The more you post, the more I'm convinced that you're Fidelmalek aka Forevermore. I still await your list of five active handles out of the 30+ you claimed you hired

LoJ:
I read both version of the supposed work. The one Benscolari posted here is highly different from the one GiftedMind1JEM posted in his own thread. That one is of better quality, though still average in my opinion.

But GiftedMind1JEM claims to have sent a sample which was enough to evaluate quality and eventually stop the deal. If it is true and Benscolari validated the work then he is clearly guilty.

I agree with the bolded

Benscolari:
Screenshots...

If this is truly the work GiftedMind1JEM submitted, then I must say it was poorly written and nobody would want to put money on that. But it all boils down to the type of agreement you both had. Besides, why are you taking up jobs you cannot deliver and contracting them out for a small fraction of what they're paying you? That's shady

@tonysunkan, are you the same writer that wrote "Lost In Lust"? I got it from okadabooks when it trended a while back but I can't recollect the name of the author.

It was not a bad business. If I could offer such a service twice a week and receive the same amount, then I would make not less the two hundred and forty thousand in a money.

Stories from most Nigerian writers are hardly without errors. You guys need to hire editors and proof readers before publishing your works.

Benscolari:
dominique, rule 2 clearly broken, but you've turned a blind eye. Very well...
Mention another person defrauded, or I'll personally take ylhr6case personal.

You violated rule 2 when you called him a dunce but I overlooked it didn't I? I await the handles you've worked with to verify your trustworthiness so I can clear all accusations about you on a and for all

Benscolari:
what kind of biased talk is this? You're suspecting this is an old foe? Keep on suspecting. I am not ass licking to get any favours
I've attached a file he sent. Read through that and decide by yourself if that is readable.
And again, you say this is not the first time I am being accused of hiring writers without paying... HOW?
Kindly refer me to another scenario please.
Look, this isn't funny at all.
I've hired a large number of people here, and no one has complained other than that disillusioned man. How?
Or maybe I should post screenshots of me paying writers, so you'll be at rest?
I don't like this madam.
https://www.nairaland.com/2947212/exclusive-how-make-level-2/856#75688156(this is one of my writers defending me)

Writers contact me on whatsapp, and I don't even bother to check anything about them, but rather what they offer.
I know them personally :ASHRAF, oyopoga, mercy, Funke, Denis, babatunde, Francis, and a whole lot of others.

I am seriously irked by your biased view towards this matter.

Over 30 people you claimed you hired and only one dropped a positive review. If you're as genuine as you claimed, no less than five people would have come to your defense whe you were accused.

Drop at least five ACTIVE profiles you have worked with here so I can get their experience working with you.

The document you attached is not opening, post screenshots instead

I'm suspecting this is an old foe with a new identity

Benscolari:
If this idiot isn't banned, then this place has gone to the dogs.
I've hired more writers here than your entire lineage, and because an idiot wrote nonsense for me, I should pay him abi?
You must be a dunce

This is not the first time you're being accused of hiring writers without paying them, that's a call for concern. You've hired over 30 writers here, how come nine has given positive feedback about you?

You accused one of your accusers of submitting an inferior work hence you refused to pay him, can you kindly post a sample of this work so we can judge?

Lastly, do you pay all the people you hired their entitlements according to agreement? Yes or No?
