EWU MEDIA YOUTUBE CHANNEL SCAM
I want to share my experience with EWU Media to warn others who may be considering working with them. I was recently hired by their team to write scripts for their channel, and from the start, there were some concerning red flags that I unfortunately overlooked.
First, when setting up payment, they did not request my bank information for direct deposit, only my debit card details. This is highly unusual for legitimate companies and should have been an immediate red flag. Standard payroll processing typically requires bank account details, not just a debit card.
After going through the hiring process, I was assigned a script to write. I spent time crafting the script according to their guidelines and submitted it as instructed. However, as soon as I turned in my completed work, they abruptly terminated my contract. There was no explanation, no feedback—just immediate termination.
It became clear that they had no real intention of establishing a working relationship; they simply wanted to get free work out of me under the pretense of employment. This kind of practice is unethical and exploitative.
I’m sharing this as a warning to other writers or freelancers who might be approached by them. Always do your research before accepting work, and be cautious if a company refuses to follow standard payment procedures or behaves suspiciously after you submit work. I hope my experience can help prevent others from falling into the same trap.
