The reason I posted the image is bcause I know Maker Gen has a relationship with Yttalk, and I'm a strong supporter of undeniable proof, which I haven't seen.
Sure, it's entirely possible that OP DID in fact get scammed, especially with the comments about numerous others not being paid either. However, I have a lot of experience in public relations as well as marketing - I know how detrimental a few bad reviews or false scam reports can be towards a company. Maker Gen is an organization that RELIES on places like Yttalk & Google results to expand, so if this scam report isn't true it would hurt them very badly.
If it's true, it's true, but I don't think everyone should jump to conclusions especially because the evidence (the blog post) has ZERO evidence of them being involved with Maker Gen, let alone scammed by them. It is a story with an image of views. How is that evidence? It's not.
