My Skillcloud.au Review: What Actually Happened

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY THE LUCKIEST PERSON ALIVE.

I swear on everything I love I'm not exaggerating…

This review will likely be gone within DAYS.

Gabriel Dio of SkillCloud.au is an expert at taking down reviews that EXPOSE HIS ASS.

I was abused, scammed, and exploited by this man in ways that will SHOCK YOU.

Verbally abused throughout an entire project - video evidence below…

Yes, this man used the F-WORD 18 times in the first 10 minutes of what was supposed to be a “feedback video”…

He locked me out of my own work the moment he had everything he needed.

Then DENIED payment AND OUTRIGHT SCAMMED ME of what I was contractually owed (at the very last minute, once he had everything he needed - after months of day and night work).

And listen, I am not alone… oh no no no.

I personally know of at least 5 others who reached out to me since I brought this case public saying they had similar experiences with this FRAUDSTER.

He finds you, charms you, extracts everything he can from you - then disappears with your work and your money.

When I told him about my plans to expose him online, his response was:

“This is not my first time in disputes. I’ve been on UpWork since before Covid. By your reaction I can tell this is outside your comfort zone”

(basically admitting that he’s a CERTIFIED SCAMMER and does this on a regular).

And, truthfully, he was right.

He INDEED is no stranger to disputes.

He has taken each and every review of mine down that I’ve published.

Be it on LinkedIn… on TrustPilot… on Medium… on YouTube… you name it.


This man is A PROFESSIONAL SCAMMER. He does this for a living.

But if you're reading this right now, before he gets to delete this…

You have just saved yourself from a complete nightmare of a human being.

Close this tab.

Do not reply to his email.

Do not take his call.

Do not sign his contract.

Just walk away.

IN FACT, do not walk…

RUN…

SPRINT!!!

TRUST ME, DO NOT WORK WITH GABRIEL DIO OR SKILLCLOUD.AU - in ANY capacity.

I repeat: IN ANY CAPACITY WHATSOEVER!

He will take your money and scam THE LIVING DAYLIGHT OUT OF YOU.

And the worst part is… you wont be able to do anything about it.


Coz you know… “he’s an experienced scammer” (according to himself).

Consider yourself warned - and genuinely lucky.

Whistleblower Report

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.

Red Flag Evidence & Review FAQ

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.
