Warning: Rip-Off by SKONTENT ('Risk Asset Management')

    Just our experience with SKONTENT.com. Since we found them on this board we thought this the right place to utter a word of warning for others:

    These (indian?) guys were hired for travel-related content and did a fine first job, really. With their boss, 'Nik', we already planned for a long term business relationship.

    So: For the second job they were paid 200 US$ in advance. After ten days and a polite request we finally received the content way past the agreed time-frame. We also got only half the words we paid for. And the content was written in bad english (I mean bad!). And to add up for the worst, the content was also false in essential aspects (for example: France was described as a 'Scandinavian country')

    All complaints were neglected - SKONTENT did not answer any mails or any request we tried via their online contact form...

    Just a warning based on our experience. Please feel free to contact us for further details, if you want.
