Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon
From Vimal's Facebook:
So here is the news about Molecule 8. I have been contacted by Vijay Chadha from Molecule8 to sculpt a headsculpt for his company. I saw his website and seemed genuine as many artists there were already well known in the industry so I did a mistake by trusting him. I was then commissioned to do a headsculpt and for the payment he told me 50% in the middle of the project and when I deliver the file 100%. I showed him the first update and he told me some changes to make but havent got any advance money. Then after completing the project I asked for the payment. He told me he will process both the invoice together, advance and the final payment. I took it casual again, that was again a mistake. I sent him the file on 28th June 2018. Just after sending the file, he stopped replying to me. I mailed him and texted him on his number many times but didnt get any reply. He texted me saying he got some unforeseen circumstances and didnt reply to me. I told him its ok, just let me know later about the payment. Again he got underground as he wasnt replying to my mails which were sent later after few days. I told him on 18th July that if you dont pay me I will be putting all the files on the internet for people to download and print so no value for his product. Just after that I got a mail saying apologies delay due to unforeseen circumstances and my payment will go tomorrow. And guess what, nothing happened. Then again after making fake promises so many times that the payment will go on this date etc. I still havent got it yet. He even told me hes waiting for Amazon to approve the sculpt but it wasnt the deal, deal was to pay me 50 % and pay me 100% after submission of file. Again later, i told him am uploading the files, then he told me to contact a collegue of him who is in London, he would process payment for me. Turned out he is the invester for the company and he didnt know whats happening with the company. He asked me to wait for few days (10 days) and he will sort things out. I asked him also after 11-12 days but he told me he still ahvent figured it out and aksed for more days. So after waiting for 20more days , he wasnt able to came to any conclusion. He was so sorry about what happened.
Now I got sick of Vijays fake promises about the payment and I had to go public about this as I have no option left so other people know the truth.
Honestly i was expecting a lot from the company initially of the stuff they posted on the website but in the end, all this happened. I will share may be file that i did for them now for everyone to download and use.
Please, stop scamming people.
