SC5 HTML5 Finnish Scammer

SC5 is a rip off. Do not use SC5 (based in Finland - SC5.io) for your web development needs. I hired SC5 to develop my HTML5 website. A programmer named Martti Malmi contacted me and provided a list of services they could provide me at a reasonable cost. I had PSD files and was looking for someone to slice them into HTML5 and CSS3 for my website. He promised to get this done in a three-month time frame.


Martti Malmi offered me a $1295 a month package for full time development (6 hours a day 5 days a week). I was promised a three-day trial period where I could evaluate how things worked and then I would be expected to pay the month up front.? As soon as I agreed to hire them they told me I had to pay immediately in order for work to start. They sent me a contract agreement that required 30-days notice to cancel services.


Trouble started once I had paid them money. Almost all communication ceased. I would send them files and information and only get a reply telling me they had received it. Contrary to their promises I never received an update email. Nor did I ever communicate with the developer. At this point, it is the end of the second month and I have not received any update or heard anything from them. The last two weeks that I paid for were essentially stolen from me.


The site I have is full of bugs, is coded poorly, and isn?t even according to the specs I asked for. It allows over 1 GB of data to get dumped on a user's PC every 16 seconds which seems to be a loophole on other sites they have developed for the clients listed on their website; Veikkaus, POP Vakuutus and F-Secure.


SC5 quoted me three-months for my entire project and after two months I have some poorly coded HTML5. It has been one long headache filled with poor communication practices, poor quality work, and a very incomplete site as a result. Not only is SC5 making false promises with what they say they can do for you, they are also a very unprofessional company to work with. Hire at your own risk!!!!

phew, that was a close shave. I was just about to use Marrti for all my HTML5 and PSD needs. and maybe some PCP and LSD as well but now I have seen the light and wont be using him any more. a lucky escape for me. I will just have to get my HTML from Iceland or maybe Ocado.

      GALA 2026

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      While it is good that GALA have withdrawn their application for a second weekend, local people and councillors will likely have the same fight on their hands for next year's event. In reading the consultation report, I noted the Council were putting the GALA event in the same light as all the other events that use the park, like the Circus, the Fair and even the FOPR fete. ALL of those events use the common, not the park, and cause nothing like the level of noise and/or disruption of the GALA event. Even the two day Irish Festival (for those that remember that one) was never as noisy as GALA. So there is some disingenuity and hypocrisy from the Council on this, something I wll point out in my response to the report. The other point to note was that in past years branches were cut back for the fencing. Last year the council promised no trees would be cut after pushback, but they seem to now be reverting to a position of 'only in agreement with the council's arbourist'. Is this more hypocrisy from 'green' Southwark who seem to once again be ok with defacing trees for a fence that is up for just days? The people who now own GALA don't live in this area. GALA as an event began in Brockwell Park. It then lost its place there to bigger events (that pesumably could pay Lambeth Council more). One of the then company directors lived on the Rye Hill Estate next to the park and that is likely how Peckham Rye came to be the new choice for the event. That person is no longer involved. Today's GALA company is not the same as the 'We Are the Fair' company that held that first event, not the same in scope, aim or culture. And therein lies the problem. It's not a local community led enterprise, but a commercial one, underwritten by a venture capital company. The same company co-run the Rally Event each year in Southwark Park, which btw is licensed as a one day event only. That does seem to be truer to the original 'We Are the Fair' vision, but how much of that is down to GALA as opoosed to 'Bird on the Wire' (the other group organising it) is hard to say.  For local people, it's three days of not being able to open windows, As someone said above, if a resident set up a PA in their back garden and subjected the neighbours to 10 hours of hard dance music every day for three days, the Council would take action. Do not underestimate how distressing that is for many local residents, many of whom are elderly, frail, young, vulnerable. They deserve more respect than is being shown by those who think it's no big deal. And just to be clear, GALA and the council do not consider there to be a breach of db level if the level is corrected within 15 minutes of the breach. In other words, while db levels are set as part of the noise management plan, there is an acknowledgement that a breach is ok if corrected within 15 minutes. That is just not good enough. Local councillors objected to the proposed extension. 75% of those that responded to the consultation locally did not want GALA 26 to take place at all. For me personally, any goodwill that had been built up through the various consultations over recent years was erased with that application for a second weekend, and especially given that when asked if there were plans for that in post 2025 event feedback meetings (following rumours), GALA lied and said there were no plans to expand. I have come to the conclusion that all the effort to appease on some things is merely an exercise in show, to get past the council's threshold for the events licence. They couldn't give a hoot in reality for local people, and people that genuinely care about parkland, don't litter it with noisy festivals either.
