1 /5 Saudi & London Eats & Travel: We were scammed by this restaurant!!!
We offered a non-profit collaboration deal but in the end, they have betrayed us by not keeping their words. Screenshots attached.
This is Saudi Eats & Travel (100K+ followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), and our experience with Victoria Food Hub was extremely disappointing.
The owner confirmed everything and scheduled the visit. Please find attached the screenshots.
So, We travelled there, filmed, photographed, and completed all the content exactly as agreed.
Then?
Silence.
No payment. No response. Not even a basic acknowledgement.
For two months we followed up. Nothing.
Only when we finally called the number listed on Google Maps did the owner pick up, and he then claimed that giving us “free food” somehow replaced the agreed payment.
To be clear:
A complimentary meal does not cover travel, filming, editing, equipment, time, or a full multi-platform promotion package.
It was never part of the agreement, and saying this after two months of avoidance is unacceptable.
This wasn’t a misunderstanding, we spent our time, travel, and full production effort creating high-quality content for them, and the agreement was simply not honoured.
If you are a creator, photographer, videographer, or service provider:
Think carefully before collaborating with this business. Please find screenshots and photos for reference. Thank you.
