Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci has debunked accusations from influencer VeryDarkMan that she misled followers by accepting payment for culinary training program without delivering the promised services.
Baci shared a screen recording on April 23, 2024, showcasing her ongoing online cooking class in response to the allegations.
The recording displayed the content shared on the online platform, enrollment of new students, and overall group activity.
In her caption, Baci revealed statistics such as 5880 active students, 156 posted recipes, completed editing and plating classes, and official assignments, concluding with a light-hearted “LOL.”
VeryDarkMan accused her of taking money from some students who he said were not added to the teaching class afterward.
In his video, he stated that such an act could be seen as “obtaining under false pretence.”
He said, “Hilda Baci, you have worked so hard for your brand but it’s as though you’re trying to spoil the reputation of your brand. What you’re doing now is giving ‘Obtaining under false pretense’ which is fraud by the way. You can’t collect money from a lot of people for something and then not do it and you’re not even addressing it.”
“You collected money for an online cooking class which was meant to start on the 22nd. But on the 22nd you didn’t start. You posted that registration closed on the 28th of March and since then you’ve been quiet. Don’t you see all the women complaining in the comment section? This is giving fraud. You can’t collect money from people and just ghost them,” he added.
