"Another small business operator, a spa in Sydney, said Big Review filmed a video of their business, but they were not happy and asked for a re-shoot.
But the operator said Big would not agree unless she signed up for a membership, which she declined.
She said she was not aware the video was uploaded on their website until after the Financial Review sent a link. She was also not aware she had an active Finstro account, that was created on June 28, 2017.
The balance on the Finstro account as of Sunday was $15,000 as no funds were reported as being drawn.
The Financial Review is aware that an invoice for this account was created and $10,032 was recorded as "payment received" on 29 June 2017."
Isn't this a huge issue? This business owner never drew any money from her Finstro account and never paid a dime, with all 15k of credit still sitting in her account as unused, and yet on the BIG books, they've claimed they received payment for $10,032. So they've effectively lied about revenue?
Also the fact they used the video on their website to list the company as a customer, is misleading as the owner never paid and was not happy with the result.
