Description

Beatrix from Sonixsmiles Introduction of Sonixsmiles, a leading provider of oral and dental products. They are expanding their reach through social media and looking for a content creator to make UGC content featuring their product. Provided Instagram link and asked if interested in cooperating. Brandi Expressed interest in collaboration. Shared rates for UGC content: $300 for a video, UGC photos as an add-on, and distribution and usage rights at 30% of the video rate per month. Provided social media metrics and previous experience. Beatrix from Sonixsmiles Appreciated the interest. Directed Brandi to review the Project Guidelines and asked for her full name if interested in moving forward with the contract agreement. Brandi Clarified she would not spend her own money for the collaboration. Requested that Sonixsmiles either send the product directly or establish a contract to send money equivalent to the product's value. Provided full name. Beatrix from Sonixsmiles Stated terms could not be changed. Required Brandi to purchase a SonixPro toothbrush with a 50% discount to proceed. Offered 600 EUR for completed content. Sent a contract and discount code “AGREE.” Brandi Declined collaboration, stating she would not pay for the product and considered the terms unprofessional. Notified intention to report to Google, BBB, and Instagram. Misleading and potentially scam-like practices by Sonixsmiles, including requiring upfront payment for products from content creators. I found resources online from people in the UK saying they got scammed from this company.
