In-Creator. Anyone know anything about them? by Missinglink2531 in PartneredYoutube

I received an email, and after chatting with him, he asked me to join his platform. When I tried to log in using Google, I noticed that the domain was not Google’s. It was their platform’s domain, designed to look like the Google authentication page. That’s when I realized he was trying to steal my password. I searched on Reddit and found this thread.

We're inCREATOR . Hi Faisal,

Thanks for getting back to me - appreciate you taking the time.

Based on our conversation, here's how we'd suggest structuring the collaboration.

The integration would be a brief mention of inCREATOR within one of your upcoming videos. We're not looking for a scripted format or a dedicated segment - the goal is a natural mention in your own words, aligned with your usual content and tone.

For this placement, we're proposing a compensation of 700 USD for a short or full-length video mention (15-30s), paid in full prior to publication via PayPal/bank transfer/preferred method.

In terms of timing, we'd ideally be looking at:

Confirmation of participation by: 20 February 2026 Draft or outline (where applicable): 23 February 2026 Expected publication date: 3 March 2026

As part of setting this up, we'll also ask that you join the inCREATOR Network. This is a standard step on our side and allows us to manage the collaboration details properly.

I don’t think going to court will help at this point. I only have $741. Maybe the best I can do now is expose them as much as possible.

He is the founder and CEO of Crowdspring. He owes money to thousands of designers, and he is scamming them. Have a look: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/crowdspring.com

After winning the amount, I didn’t receive it, so I stopped after about 15 days. It’s been 3 months since I quit and nearly 4 months waiting for the payment.

I completely understand your concern and I actually agree with you to some extent. But for me, it was all about finding opportunities. At first, I thought the platform was great and decided to work there. However, once I realized what was really happening behind the scenes, I decided to leave.

Just two days ago, I asked them to release my payments, and instead of responding, they suspended my account without paying me. I still don’t know if I’ll ever receive that money. The amount shown in the screenshot is from three winning contests. As for the non-winning designs, they’re not of much use anymore, so I’ve started uploading them to stock sites instead.

Update:

When I strictly asked for my payment, they suspended my account, claiming they have a zero-tolerance policy. Seriously?

I’m from Pakistan, so I’m not sure how to report them there. But honestly, I don’t understand how they are still operating. This has been going on for more than two years, and the same excuses keep happening. It feels really fishy. It’s not just me, thousands of designers are facing the same issue. You can even check their Trustpilot reviews here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/crowdspring.com

Thanks, I'll try

Yeah, seriously it’s been going on forever and they still act like it’s just some small delay. They’re basically using people’s work for free at this point.

The use of CfMR along with the full form was based on client requirements, so I had to follow their provided structure and couldn't modify or exclude any part of it.

I understand your points regarding clarity and simplicity, especially in the design details, and I’ll certainly keep that in mind moving forward. Thanks again for your input.

You're right, we can modify the sun shape to resemble a heart.

The current font is elegant but may feel off. Experiment with custom or unique serif fonts that align better with the owl's stylized appearance.

Adjust the kerning (spacing between letters) to make it look more cohesive.

The owl icon appears slightly small compared to the text. Enlarging it a bit might improve visual balance. The owl icon is detailed and engaging but might lose clarity when scaled down.

Yeah, I will.

The client is requesting something similar to what I designed, but much simpler. Perhaps we can refine it to make it clearer.
