CFM Group (Cambs Fine Management Ltd)…
CFM Group (Cambs Fine Management Ltd) contacted me via Bark following an advert I posted re a social media launch for my new aesthetics business. They have good reviews and seemed legit so I went ahead with their proposal.
However, they have taken a fee of £180 and not produced any of the work asked and signed for in the contract agreement.
They manipulated my images including my personal WhatsApp profile picture, and the content I sent that was initially to make reels and an advert with.
Instead of making any professional content, CFM Group posted a distorted AI image that wasn't of me or my clients on my Instagram without my consent, which caused people to contact me expressing concern. I had to immediately take the post down and was left feeling very shaken by the experience.
They said they’d produced work ready to go if I paid early, even to the point where they’d pushed other clients back for me, and then once I paid, they didn't follow through with anything agreed. I asked numerous times to review the content and all of a sudden they were busy and I was asking too much. The only work they scheduled was of some fake AI images they used as a sample to show me prior to me signing, that relate nothing to me or my work, to be posted on my account every few days. I'd not even had chance to launch any posts and they already put my reputation at risk.
They also said they would go through the work they’ve done with me before they post anything and then on the night before the launch, they ignored my messages and calls. I was extremely confused and ultimately spent all night up to the early hours trying to salvage my content.
The next morning they refused to take any responsibility and said they had produced what I had asked, therefore, I was not entitled to a refund. I had to quickly change my passwords and remove access to accounts to prevent any further damage.
I am very upset by this - I am not sure if CFM have tried to scam other people, so I feel this needs to be reported and taken seriously.
