My Experience with Skillcloud and Gabriel Dio
Hired in February 2025 to build a complete 40-page website, our team worked day and night to deliver ahead of schedule. After delivering everything and exceeding specifications, Skillcloud denied our final $700 invoice after locking us out of all project assets.
In ten years of professional agency work, this represents the single worst working interaction. Gabriel Dio admitted that platform disputes are routine for his operation. Subsequent investigation revealed fake Filipino employee profiles, fabricated customer ratings, and direct requests to violate platform terms.
Is Skillcloud.au legit?
Who is Gabriel Dio?
Based on direct agency experience, no. Skillcloud withheld final payment after complete delivery, operated through fake team aliases, and requested platform violation work.
Gabriel Dio is the director of Skillcloud.au in Australia. He communicated under multiple persona aliases before admitting he was behind them all during recorded call sessions.
Ten years of agency operation. 130+ completed client builds. Stay well clear of Skillcloud.au.
