Skilla work one step to bankruptcyMd Shofikul islam
Review of the “partnership” with Skilla work (Skilla Innovations).
For those who do not want to read to the end, I will say briefly: be vigilant, do not let yourself be deceived, do not allow yourself to be cheated out of money, do not repeat my mistakes. Unfortunately, I went through this and lost more than 600,000 rubles irrevocably fr om Skilla in a month. Skilla (OOO Skilla Innovations) is a closed, completely non-customer-oriented company, there is no talk of any partnership in reality. If you want to call there, you will not find a single contact number, neither in 2GIS, nor on the website, anywhere, and this is the first “call”, why such secrecy?
“Divorce” begins from the very first contacts, there is a classic misrepresentation through false promises, guarantees, etc. Skilla creates “tasty” vacancies on job search sites, in my case it was hh.ru. After responding to the communication, the first echelon of the “divorce” comes out, wh ere they beautifully talked about the business model and, most importantly, promised to meet with already working “partners,” thereby increasing loyalty to the offer to invest. I showed interest and then the second echelon of the “divorce” contacted me, introducing himself as Farhat. We contacted him a lot, discussed issues and the business plan he had previously sent with specific figures for monthly costs. Farhat argued about a specific finite number of “partners” per city so as not to create more competition in the market, about fixed amounts of monthly payments without an increase for the year, that in my city the existing “partners” work with a limited number of performers, and performers more diverse in their professions are required and therefore they are looking for new “partners”, emphasizing the possibility of returning money if something goes wrong, personal acquaintance with the owner since this is not a franchise, but a partnership, etc. The stories that they will help you take out an installment plan to pay for the franchise, that there is loyalty to Skilla from banks, are lies. Skilla contacts a regular organization specializing in finding loans, which sends your data to all possible banks, which you can do yourself, there are no special relationships, no loyalty from banks to Skilla Innovation. The first signal for me was the question of setting up an installment plan, supposedly I took such a large amount for training. These two stages of verbal promises, guarantees, information, business plan figures and videos of supposedly existing “partners” were captivating and the decision was made to launch the office. I made an advance payment and purchased plane tickets to St. Petersburg. The premium transfer from the airport and hotel is supposedly paid by Skilla, but given the prepayment of more than 70,000 rubles, I paid for everything. On the very first day at the office, they demand that you pay the remaining amount for the franchise and sign an agreement. After signing the contract, training began and the third stage of the “divorce” through the support service, the beginning of the end... Each subsequent employee who spoke carried contradictions regarding the information given by the previous speakers, and the first two echelons of the “divorce”; the information sometimes differed so much that it was necessary to stop the training and call specialists from other offices. There were several people like me, all from different cities, and what a great fellow one of us was, who asked for the money back on the second day of training. Whether he returned the money or not is unknown. Well, why didn’t I do that too? From the moment the agreement was signed, everything began to change, and every day my mistrust only grew. The personal acquaintance Farhat promised with the owner of Genome never happened, don’t expect it to happen. Upon arrival in my city, four days later, the amount of monthly payment in my personal account increased by 20% relative to what was specified in the contract and promised by Farhat through the presented business plan. So much for Farhat’s promises that there will be no increase in pay during the year. But having calmed down a little, I began to move on, rented an office, made renovations, bought furniture, bought office equipment, connected telephony, etc. But then there’s more, since the contract was signed by me for an individual, it was necessary to change the signatory to a legal entity. person after opening an individual entrepreneur. Having opened an individual entrepreneur, I sent the data to Skilla, in response I received an additional agreement, in which not only the signatory changed, but also changes were added to all financial clauses of the agreement for an increase of another 20%. And by not signing the agreement, I would be violating the contract, which would lead to unilateral termination of the contract and loss of money. There was a shock and a debate began with the support service, which caused even more shock. The answers were from the series “it’s good that today is Friday, and not tomorrow like yesterday...” The first justification for the increase was like, “... due to the changed economic situation, we are increasing...”, but how has the economic situation changed in four days since the signing of the agreement, They never answered me. In response to my demands to comply with the promotion procedure in accordance with the contract, as stated in the payment clause, having notified me in advance, I received an answer that the notification had already been given last year, before the contract was signed with me, and supposedly it also concerned me. Skilla also provides a brand and website in its package. It seems like there are advantages, good, but there is a recommendation under the contract to pay monthly, and the payment is more than office rent, to pay for SEO promotion of their site, not yours, a site that is blocked by Skilla in case of non-payment of monthly payments. And not to pay for promotion, not to fulfill recommendations under the contract and refusal of a possible refund. The proposed brand was narrowly focused on performers and this was another discrepancy with the initial information from Farhat, who claimed that they were looking for a new “partner” in the city to expand the positions of performers. And I was offered exactly the same narrowly focused brand of performers that Skilla had reached a dead end with in my city, that is, the chances of success were becoming less and less. Realizing that the third echelon of the “divorce”, the support service, could not solve the problem, I turned to the one who promised me, informed me, guaranteed, at whose suggestion I paid in Skilla, Farhat. But in Skilla, such a regulation, the employees who raised money go aside and transfer all the “arrows” to the support service, saying that all issues can only be resolved with them, and the answers there are like Jen Psaki’s. And Farhat, who was responsible for the information that became the basis for my decision to take out a loan and give it to Skilla, stopped communicating altogether and began to hide. Then the understanding began to come that I had “gotten it”, that I was being “conned” and asked to return my money, to return it so far nothing had been done on anyone’s part, that working in such non-partnership relationships was not possible. I didn’t ask for expenses for the office, furniture, telephony, office equipment, this is my mistake and my retribution for trust, but I want to return what I transferred to Skilla (Skilla Innovations LLC). They refused to return it, once again crossing out all the tales of the first two echelons of the “scam” that Skilla is a reliable partner who is looking far into joint work and is not interested in small, one-time earnings on a subscription fee, etc. It turned out in practice that this is exactly what she is interested in, only lies and irresponsible promises. Afterwards, I wrote an official complaint with the hope that maybe at the owner level there is still a partnership view, that the slogans and promises of the first two echelons of the “scam” will find confirmation at the top, that if Skilla is a client-oriented company and the owner understands that there will be no further work with me , will return the money, but no, the owner’s response only confirmed that this whole scheme was agreed upon with him and he will not return the money to me. The big point on the part of Skilla in this “swindle” of money was the information that if there is no subscription payment for a month, and during the proceedings to increase the tariff I did not pay the increased figure so quickly, then they unilaterally terminate the contract without refunding the money . Moreover, the consideration of a claim under the contract takes 30 days, just as long as it takes to unilaterally terminate the contract. The sincerity of all these videos of successful entrepreneurs working productively with Skilla is questionable. Later it turned out that Skilla was recruiting an unlimited number of “partners” in my city using other brands. So much for “partnership” relationships. About 1.5 months passed from the beginning to the end of this story.
PS Be smarter than me, be vigilant, do not allow yourself to be deceived and cheated out of money. All the best!!!
