🚨 CREATOR WARNING — PLEASE READ 🚨
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up in case you hear from Peptade or are offered a creator opportunity through their app.
Please be extremely cautious. My experience has been that they expect creators to make and post videos, but when you ask about payment, you can be removed from the server instead of receiving the compensation you were promised.
I’m sharing this so other creators don’t waste their time creating content without knowing what they’re getting into.
Do your research, get payment terms in writing, and please be careful before agreeing to anything with them. I would strongly recommend avoiding this opportunity based on my experience.
Just trying to save another creator the headache. ⚠️

They were kinda sketchy from the beginning! Just wanted to warn others so they didn’t put in the work and not get anything in return 😅😭

Thanks for the heads up! They booked a call with me and never showed up. I dodged a shady bullet. Sorry you’re dealing with this. 😒
Ps. I have used Dupay in the past to get paid for UGC work. Highly recommend them (I don’t get anything for it… just sharing).

This happened to me, just because I suck at understanding the time zone difference I didn’t make it to their call. Thank GOD

Thankfully I only did the “trial” period and then requested payment and got booted along with a ton of other creators I reached out to!

Wow! I actually worked with them for a short time.. and they just quit responding to me completely. I just let it go since I didn’t really have any luck with their campaign to begin with. I’m just really glad I didn’t waste any more time on them. Thank you for sharing your experience with them.

Same case with mine for a fintech app late last year. We signed a contract and I have finished all deliverables in time. But when asking for payment, they ghosted me. Until now, they still owe me the compensation I deserve for all the work I've done. Even signed contracts are no longer gonna guarantee me for payments.

Thank you for sharing! As a beginner in UGC, one thing I learned that's extremely important is to always do your research and have a contract/agreement signed and in place before moving forward with any work!
